- 2 teaspoons soft brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange marmalade

Method
-
1
In a heatproof jug, add the brown sugar, marmalade and Melbourne Breakfast. Add boiling water to the mixture and steep for 3-4 minutes.

2
While the mixture is steeping, fill a highball glass with ice and add Scotch Whisky (we use Scotch for this as it has more peaty, deep flavours than Irish Whisky).

Strain the tea mixture into your highball glass using a fine sieve to fill just over half your glass. Top with soda water, a twist of orange peel and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
Brew tip from our tea sommelier
For the coldest months when you need something extra warming, this drink can be transformed into a Melbourne Toddy. Simply replace the brown sugar with one teaspoon of honey, double the amount of boiling water, and strain the whole lot into a heatproof glass or mug with the whisky, nutmeg and orange.
