To create the Lapsang Souchong tea syrup: Bring to a boil 250 ml of water and infused with 5 g of Lapsang Souchong tea for 3-4 minutes. Strain to remove the tea leaves. Add 250 g of granulated sugar in the (still) hot tea and stir until the sugar dilution. Bring down to room temperature before putting in the fridge. For a more modest and less smoked version of this cocktail, substitute the Bowmore 12 years for your favorite bourbon or whisky.
