An Apron & a Drink Recipe

This is me standing in the kitchen wearing the apron I made out of a thrift store skirt, just for anyone who doubted it was actually a human-sized, well-fitted apron. It is pictured here along with a talented party hostess holding a delicious beverage I will now describe how to create yourself.


Milky Joe's Hard Thai Tea!
ingredients:

-Bigelow Constant Comment Teabags

-Firefly Sweet Tea flavored Vodka
-Sugar

-Can of coconut milk

-Tangerine slices (for garnish)

Directions:
1. Brew some Constant Comment tea and sweeten with sugar to your liking. Chill it.
2. In a highball glass, pour a generous shot of Firefly Sweet Tea vodka. Fill with ice.
3. Pour the sweetened Constant Comment until glass is about 75 percent full.
4. Top with coconut milk.
5. Stir with straw and garnish with tangerine slice.

Constant Comments:
I made this cocktail for a Pan-Asian themed dinner party as a play on Thai tea. It has a nice spicy tea flavor, with subtly citrus undertones, almost like a Thai version of a White Russian, except less filling and more refreshing. I used "lite" coconut milk, which appeared a little grainy, but no one seemed to mind. Lastly, I initially brewed the Constant Comment super strong, which made the drink taste too tea-ish, so I watered it down to perfection and brewed later batches at normal strength.

Enjoy!
