The Ardent Epicure

To begin with we hope everyone here is the US
had a fantastic and safe 4th of July:)
We are going to start of here with "The Drink"
mainly because that is how we started...
This will be a three part post however,
to prevent readers from nodding off before reaching the entrée.

What you will need:
Pomegranate liqueur
Vodka
1-2 cups Pomegranate simple syrup
2 cups your favorite brewed tea,
chilled
Ice
Pitcher and glasses


Let's get mixing:
Fill piture about 1/3 filled with ice
Add your chilled tea
Add equal parts pomegranate liqueur
and vodka.
Add simple syrup a bit at a time
to test for sweetness

Enjoy!

Stay tuned for the dishes:)
