Gift This: Tea Infused Spirits

by Numi Tea'm Leave a Comment

As a gal who loves DIY gifting, I’m never short of crafty ideas for the ladies on my list. Recently, I made Hannah’s Green Tea Facial Mask in bulk and packaged it in cute mason jars with homemade labels. Check!

The gents? Much harder. A quick poll confirmed the men in my life were not interested in a facial mask. Seeing what guys gift each other (the ones in my life, anyway) I noted it often involves, well, alcohol. So I decided on an easy DIY — infused vodka, incorporating flavors that work well in both sweet and savory cocktails. Enter this…

Jalapeño + Dry Desert Lime Infused Vodka

Tea infused spirits are an easy DIY gift for ladies and gents who appreciate the nuanced flavors of craft cocktails.

Below you’ll find a recipe for the infused vodka. Plus, printable gift tags with two recipes inside, including this Kickin’ Moscow Mule and a Bitin’ Bloody Mary.

Jalapeño Lime Infused Vodka
 
Print
Serves: 5 gifts
Ingredients
  • 1.75 L bottle of vodka
  • 2-3 jalapeño peppers
  • 3 bags Numi's Dry Desert Lime tea
Instructions
  1. Remove strings and tags from the tea bags. Insert into vodka bottle. If needed, use a thin knife to push teabags through the neck and into the liquid. Don't worry about puncturing the bags -- you can strain the vodka if necessary.
  2. Trim stems off the peppers. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut each half into strips small enough to fit through the neck of your bottle.
  3. Insert desired amount of peppers into the bottle.
  4. Put the cap back on the bottle, sealing tightly. Shake to make sure the peppers are submerged.
  5. Store in a cool place. After 24 hours, taste-test for the right infusion. Err on the side of stronger, keeping in mind flavor will dilute when mixed with other ingredients.
  6. Portion into 5 pint-sized mason jars, or another container of comparable size.

🌱 Why do grades of tea matter? The larger the leaf, the greater its surface area for steeping and the more complex the infusion. Numi uses only hand-plucked, fuller leaf quality tea for a pure taste that balances depth and nuance. Many bagged teas are machine-picked and use low-quality fannings and dust. Smaller grades release tannins more quickly, leading to a dark, bitter-tasting cup. Wake up with fuller leaf teas that steep slowly and evenly, delivering a smooth, rich flavor. When you drink our tea, you’ll immediately taste the difference. ☕️ Find our Breakfast Blend and over 40 delicious organic blends on our Amazon store. Link in bio.
