Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Black tea
- 100 ml Dark rum
- 100 ml Red wine
- 50 ml Fruit schnapps (optional, such as apricot or plum)
- 100 ml Orange juice
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 4 Cloves
- 2 Orange slices
Instructions
Brew 500 ml of strong black tea and set it aside to keep warm.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brewed black tea, dark rum, red wine, fruit schnapps (if using), orange juice, and lemon juice.
Stir in the granulated sugar until it dissolves completely.
Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange slices to the mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the Jagertee gently, making sure not to let it boil. This allows the flavors to meld while preserving the alcohol content.
After about 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture to remove the cloves, cinnamon stick, and orange slices.
Ladle the Jagertee into heatproof mugs or glasses and serve immediately while warm.
