This seasonal drink combines two classic fall flavors, apple cider and chai tea. It is a festive way to start out cozy season. I love having it warm with a cinnamon stick and star anise on top. It also makes a great iced tea on those warm fall days.
Ingredients
1 chai tea bag or 1 teaspoon loose chai tea
1 cup apple cider
2 teaspoons honey
cinnamon sticks and star anise for garnish (optional)
Directions
Steep the chai tea in 1 cup of hot water for 5 minutes.
Simmer the apple cider in a small pan until heated.
Remove the tea bag (or loose tea) from the hot tea. Pour into the pan of apple cider. Add in the honey and stir until honey is dissolved.
Pour into two 8-ounce mugs (or one large 16-ounce mug.) Garnish with cinnamon sticks and star anise if desired.
Serves 2
Iced Tea Version
Follow the same process but let the liquid come to room temperature after combined. You can make a larger quantity and keep it in a pitcher in the fridge. Pour over ice when ready to serve.
