Ingredients:

• 3 cups fresh blackberries
• ½ cup Bourbon Smoked Sugar
• ¼ cup Mint Julep Sugar
• 6 good-quality black tea bags

Bourbon Mint Sprigs for garnish Mason Jars or jelly jars for serving Combine the blackberries, Bourbon Smoked Sugar and Mint Julep Sugar in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or wooden spoon; let sit while making the tea. While the blackberries are macerating, bring 1 1/2 quarts cold water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Remove from the heat, add the tea bags and let steep for about 3 minutes. Remove the tea bags and pour the tea over the blackberry mixture. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. Pour the mixture through a strainer into a pitcher, pressing on the solids.
Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours. Serve the blackberry tea over ice in Mason jars (or similar) and float a shot of bourbon on top of each. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
