On holiday in America a fellow traveller donated a bottle of Jagermeister so we put it to good use replacing lime for lemon (which was all we had). Best iced tea ever given we had never tried Jagermeister before !

It could well be a riff on a Jabertee. Not something that was disclosed when the recipe was shared with us.

Made this drink two times. The first one felt much richer than the second time. The second one felt so much more citrusy than the first time. Is it because of the lime?

Fantastic! This is the perfect kind of drink to give to someone who says they don't like Jagermeister. Despite being the only alcohol present, it's not overpowering at all, just pairs so smoothly with the tea and lime.
