Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionAt least 2 hours and up to 2 days before serving, make the batch.
Pour Scotch, bitters, chilled extra-strong oolong, chilled cranberry syrup, and water into a 2-quart pitcher and stir to mix.
Seal well, covering with plastic wrap if needed, and refrigerate.
Up to 2 hours before serving, prepare lemon juice and stir into pitcher mix.
Reseal and return to refrigerator if not serving immediately.
To serve, stir mixture well, then garnish pitcher with cranberries and lemon wheels.
Pour into ice-filled teacups.
In a small lidded saucepan, bring water to a bare simmer over medium-high heat.
As soon as you spot the first bubble, add tea bags, cover pan, remove from heat, and let steep for 8 to 10 hours.
Strain, seal, and refrigerate until chilled or for up to 2 days.
Combine water, sugar, and cranberries in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
When cranberries begin to pop, use a wooden spoon to crush them against side of pan and remove pan from heat.
Let cool to room temperature, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a resealable container, pressing on solids to extract all remaining liquid. (Don’t discard the cooked fruit! It’s great over yogurt or ice cream.) If storing syrup more than a few days, stir in Scotch.
Refrigerate until chilled or for up to 2 weeks.
