Preparation

In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups of the water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the tea bags. Steep for 8 minutes and then discard the bags. Add the lemonade and the remaining 2 cups of water. Transfer the mixture to a pitcher and chill. Stir in the basil and crush with a spoon until fragrant. Stir in the bourbon and liqueur. Pour into tall glasses filled with ice and garnish each glass with a lemon wheel. (This recipe makes 12 to 15 drinks.)
