Method
How to make Tailgate sweet tea
1) Combine all the tea ingredients in a large pan over a medium heat. The bicarbonate of soda will darken the syrup and reduce the bitterness.
2) Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and extracting as much tea as possible. Once the mixture is boiling, remove the pot from the heat and let steep until cooled. Remove and discard the tea bags and reserve the sweet tea syrup.
3) In a large container combine the sweet tea syrup and add water, to taste. Add the remaining ingredients: bourbon, peach schnapps and lemon juice, also to desired taste.
