DIRECTIONS FOR Chai Tea Bourbon Old Fashioned
- Add the tea into an infuser, and steep in about ⅓ cup of water that has just been boiled. Then, add the sugar and stir to dissolve.
- Add large ice cubes to a whiskey glass, and add 60ml of bourbon and two or three dashes of Angostura bitters to each
- Add the chai tea syrup according to your taste, or around 2 TBSP as a rough guide.
- Top each drink with an orange peel, cinnamon stick and star anise.
That’s it! Super easy. We used our Organic Black Chai Tea Loose Leaf Tea for this one because the sweet nutty flavours go so well with the smokey bourbon. You can buy yours here.
Your guests this Christmas will be super impressed with this Chai Tea Bourbon Old Fashioned. But for those choosing not to partake during the festive season you can also serve the Organic Black Chai Tea as a black tea or with frothed milk as a lovely morning or evening tea with flavour and fragrance. Even the most discerning tea drinker will love our Organic Black Chai Tea.
