Creamy, indulgent, and delicious! This easy tea cocktail recipe delivers boldly sweet and spicy flavors, sure to warm you up from the inside out.
Ingredients
Makes one 10 oz drink
- 2 tea bags Stash Chai Spice
- 5 oz boiling water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 oz whole milk or milk substitute
- ¾ oz spiced rum
- 1¼ oz hazelnut liqueur (such as Frangelico)
- Optional garnish: ground cinnamon and/or whole cinnamon stick
Directions
- Steep 2 Stash Chai Spice tea bags in 5 oz boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Remove the tea bags and sweeten with honey.
- In a separate cup, froth the milk. Pour the frothed milk into the brewed tea, being careful to save the foam for finishing your cocktail.
- In your serving glass, add the spiced rum and hazelnut liqueur. Pour in the milky chai mixture and stir slightly. Top with foam and garnish with ground cinnamon and a cinnamon stick, if desired.
Substitutions
Don’t have an ingredient on hand? We can recommend a few alternatives!
For More Spice
Increase the heat with twice the spice! Stash Double Spice Chai and Ginger Fire Chai are both excellent tea substitutions.
For Less Caffeine or Caffeine-Free
If you’re avoiding caffeine, Stash Spice Dragon Red Chai is a great caffeine-free herbal alternative. To keep the black tea flavor, we would also recommend using Stash Decaf Vanilla Chai.
Milk Alternatives
Plant-based milks work great in this recipe, but not all of them will froth up nicely.
Alternatives to Honey
Go with what you like! Honey brings a well-rounded sweetness, but you could also use agave nectar or brown sugar.
