Using Charred Oak Chips to simulate barrel aging

I’m working on some mock spirits for a cocktail bar I work at, and I’m just curious if anyone as experimented with charred oak chips or spirals to provide an oaky flavor to like a tea blend or anything to provide the characters barrel aged notes that dark spirits have. I’m curious if it would infuse enough in the week or so time tea lasts before losing its flavor. Especially if it’s simmered in the water ahead of time.

Apple-Lack-iri

I’ve fallen in love with applejack recently and I think it is the quintessential fall spirit and I made a fun daiquiri riff with it.

As I was making it, I sent pictures to my family and my mom who doesn’t drink anymore was curious about a mocktail version, so for my last sip of the night, I got to working. Perfect for a couple or group of friends where there is a mixed bag of drinking preferences because the other ingredients are all the same. I used the Celestial Cinnamon Apple Spice tea blend, but any dried apple/cinnamon chai type thing would work. Also, rooibos instead of the lapsang souchong would work well too I think and not be smoky as well as omit the caffeine.

Recipes for everything in the first comment. I hope y’all enjoy! If you or someone else would like the spirited option, it’s in r/cocktails, but can’t be posted here.

An experimental drink I made when I learned you could use things like egg whites, spices and cold foam

It’s 1/2 cup iced black tea, 1/2 cup cranberry juice, 1/2 cup passion fruit juice, egg white from one egg, one tablespoon sweetened lime syrup, and three shakes of ground cinnamon all put into a shaker with ice. Then strain into a chilled glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar and top with a layer of cold foam
