The traditional combination of cointreau (orange) and amaretto (almond) with earl grey tea (bergamot) all happens to go incredibly well with blueberry and basil.

Here is a classic with a burst of real blueberry flavour.

This recipe does not really work sans alcohol, but adding less of each spirit still tastes amazing.

Ingredients

2oz Blueberry Basil Mixer
1oz cointreau
1oz amaretto
Earl Grey Tea
Orange or lemon slice to garnish

Directions

Boil water in a kettle or pot, to make a cup of tea in a mug.
Add one tea bag, fill a cup with boiled water and let it steep for 5 minutes while you get the rest of the ingredients prepared.
Fill two heat-proof brandy snifters with hot water and let them warm up for 1 minute.
Pour out the water and add 1 oz of Blueberry Basil mixer to each glass.
Add 1/2 oz cointreau and 1/2 oz amaretto to each glass (or less)
Top with 2 oz of tea and an orange slice or lemon peel to garnish.

Typically there is nothing blue or berry about a traditional blueberry tea - but we think this recipe is way better.
