Instructions
Now, letโs put it all together!
- Boil water in the small saucepan.
- Add chai tea to the boiling water and steep for about 5 minutes.
- Remove tea bags or infuser and stir in honey until melted.

Sip and savor the warming flavors. Let me know if you make any creative tweaks!
Notes
This Chai Toddy is my go-to for cold nights! ๐ You can adjust sweetness with more or less honey. Substitute spiced rum with bourbon for a different twist. To create a non-alcoholic version, you can skip the alcohol or use a rum extract for taste.
