Brewing the perfect sweet tea is an art. Start by boiling water and steeping black tea bags to your desired strength.

The key is to find the right balance between the bitterness of the tea and the sweetness that follows.

Once brewed, add simple syrup while the tea is still warm, allowing it to dissolve completely.

Moonshine, traditionally a high-proof spirit, is tamed and transformed in this recipe. Add the clear moonshine to the sweet tea, stirring gently to combine.

The secret lies in the delicate balance between the moonshine’s strength and the tea’s soothing sweetness.

Just before serving, add a splash of fresh lemon juice to introduce a tangy element, countering the tea’s sweetness and the moonshine’s potency.

Garnish with mint leaves for a burst of freshness and an elegant presentation.
