Chai Bourbon Warmer

Chai Bourbon Warmer

Scaling up for the porch? Mix in a pitcher or punch bowl and add the ice last, so nothing waters down before the toast.

Batch, serves 8 | Mugs

INGREDIENTS

6 cups water

6 black chai tea bags

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 cups whole milk (or oat milk)

1 1/2 cups Good Trouble Bourbon

MAKE IT

Steep the tea bags in hot water for 5 minutes, then remove them. Stir in the brown sugar and milk and keep warm over low heat or in a slow cooker. Stir in the bourbon just before serving so it does not cook off.

Garnish Star anise and an orange peel strip

ALCOHOL-FREE VARIATION

Leave out the bourbon, or let guests add their own to individual mugs.
