Flavored black tea
(Zach used Prince of Wales, but Earl Grey, Lady Grey, English Breakfast tea, or similarly aromatic blend would work well also)
Lemon
Lemon sorrel
Mint
White rum
Sugar, honey, or agave nectar
Begin by brewing the tea--Zach likes sun tea, or you can go the traditional route--with lemon, mint, and sorrel. Muddle a spring of mint, 3-4leaves lemon sorrel, 1/4 lemon, and a tablespoon sugar in a cocktail shaker. Throw in ice and 4 oz white rum and shake like mad. Pour over ice and top with the tea. Stir it up and enjoy.

Not sure what lemon sorrel is. But this drinks looks yummy.
