Measurements: it is nice to use a jigger to easily measure ingredients in ounces. However, if you don't have a jigger, you can use teaspoon and cups.
- .25 oz of simple syrup is 1.5 tsp.
- 4 oz of Black tea is ½ cup.
- substitute the simple syrup for a sugar cube.
- substitute the black tea for barley tea.
