Hello Darlings!
I am not a cold weather person- rather unfortunate, knowing
that I live in Denver where winter sports are king. Don’t get me wrong, I love
skiing and snowball fights, but after about an hour, I’m the one in a bikini
and a furry hat sitting in the hot tub, sipping something piping hot, and being
entirely too amused at my dragon’s breath. A hot toddy seems like the perfect
drink to warm yourself up after a day in the cold, which apparently in
Colorado, starts the first week of October (seriously snow this early? Not cool
[pun intended.]) So, being the cold-weather baby that I am, I need something to
stoke my internal fire; there is, after all, a reason that they call whiskey
firewater!
Ingredients: (Makes Two)
- Two Chai Teabags
- 3 Ounces Whiskey (I used Johnny Walker Black)
- 2 Tablespoons Honey (I prefer raw)
- Lemon Wedges
- Water
Instructions:
1. Make your chai tea. Add your teabags to incredibly hot
water (but not boiling!) and let steep. My teabags need to steep for 3-5
minutes, but check the instructions on your box.
2. Add a tablespoon of honey each to two jars (or mugs!).
3. Pour a 1.5 ounce jigger of whiskey into each jar.
4. Pour hot steeped tea to fill each remaining jar.
5. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
6. Enjoy!
Now, this Chai Hot Toddy is a kick in the pants; if you’re
not a whiskey person make sure to add whiskey in increments to taste!
