We’ll delve into the science behind this historical drink, enjoyed long before the American Revolution. Ingredients:Earl Grey tea bags: 8Granulated sugar: 2.62 oz (converts from 1/4 cup + 2.5 tablespoons)Ruby port: 8 ozAged dark rum: 4 ozAllspice Dram: 2 ozFreshly squeezed lemon juice: 2 ozWhole milk: 8 ozDirections:Heat 18 oz of water to 208°F. (If using a kettle without temperature settings, bring to a boil, remove from heat, and count to 20). Pour the water over the tea bags in a quart vessel and steep for 3 minutes before removing the bags (Do not squeeze the bags).Add 2.62 oz of sugar to the hot tea and stir to dissolve. Then add 8 oz of port, 4 oz of rum, 2 oz of Allspice Dram, and 2 oz of lemon juice. Cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.Pour desired amount of milk into a glass pitcher, then follow with the tea mixture. (Yes, it will curdle.) Leave untouched on the counter for 1 hour. Do not shake, stir, or disturb in any way. Just let it sit. Make sure the tea goes into the milk, not the other way around.Line a large, fine-mesh sieve with a commercial-sized coffee filter (for 1.5-gallon machines) and strain the mixture into a wide, 4-quart container. Once completely filtered (typically about 1 hour), transfer to a quart jar or pitcher and chill to serve. (See note.)Store tightly sealed in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
