Still snowing here and it's just after 3pm, which makes it "snow day" cocktail time, doesn't it?
Yep, Blueberry Tea isn't much tea at all, more of a cocktail. It's a strange combination of liqueurs; Grand Marnier (my favorite!) and Amaretto- somehow that magical mixture makes a blueberry part. Plus hot tea, that's the tea part.
Mmmm, tastes like hot Blueberry Tea. Really! Or close enough...
You don't need a snifter, but it is how they are served in restaurants because it helps to concentrate the wonderful aromas wafting from your glass, but you can use a mug.
Stay warm folks, can't believe the snow hasn't let up all day. Yuck.

Makes one
1 jigger Grand Mariner (1 oz.)
1 jigger Amaretto (1 oz.)
1 tea bag, orange pekoe or black tea
1 snifter
Hot water
Add the liqueurs to a snifter, add the tea bag and then fill with hot water. NOTE: Water shouldn't be too boiling; you don't want to break your glass. Let the tea steep for a minute or two, then sip and enjoy.
Be careful, the snifter is pretty hot, you're going to have it hold it from the footed bottom for a while!
