I just came across your lapsang souchong (my favorite tea) post and was going to email you with my Earl Grey version. Unfortunately I was unscientific in my measurements. Literally a couple pinches of tea, steeped for about an hour, and shaken a few times to get the color out. It still has a little tannic astringency, which as long as it's not overpowering I don't mind. Thanks, Doug!

Another perfectly good idea on my list, shot to hell by someone beating me to it. Now I'll have to wait a month or two to do my own Earl Grey experimentation, so it won't look QUITE so much like I'm following you! In all seriousness, I've already written about Lapsang Souchong infused Pegus, but I went WAY too strong with the infusion. How much tea is a pinch, and how long did you leave it in the bottle? Damn you, Jacob!

Come by Open City some Monday night. I won't have tea-infused gin, but we've got other good stuff! Thanks, Dave! Come by Open City some Monday night.
