Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon loose-leaf Lapsang Souchong tea
• 3 ounces just-boiled water
• 3 ounces tart cherry juice
• 1 lemon twist, for garnish

Steps

1. In a small heatproof bowl, combine the tea and the water, then cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in the cherry juice, then immediately fine-strain into a snifter. Squeeze the lemon twist over the drink to express its oils, then discard. Serve warm.
2. In a medium heatproof bowl, combine 1 tablespoon tea and 2 ¼ cups water, then cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
