Bourbon Milk Tea

This milk tea is great, whether you add bourbon or not. It’s milky, caramelly, light, and sweet like it should be. But it’s not overpoweringly sweet, so if you’re one of those people who shies away from milk tea because of all the sugar, give this one a try. The oaky bourbon adds a depth that very much complements the sweet milk, making it a great dessert cocktail or a great Sunday afternoon sipper.
