Smoked tea, mint, and Bourbon — what could possibly go wrong? This makes a pitcher.

4 cups Water, divided
2 tbsp Sugar

1 cup Fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 cups Bourbon
Juice of half a lemon
Juice of half a lime
Mint sprig for garnish
Procedure
In a large saucepan, boil 2 cups of water and the sugar. Remove from the heat and add the tea bags. Steep for 8 minutes and then discard the bags. Add the remaining 2 cups of water.
