Happy Syrup Sunday, Reader,

Every fall, there’s a moment when I want something warm that isn’t pumpkin. Chai is almost always the answer.

It’s cozy and a little spicy, with that tea-shop comfort. It works in a morning coffee just as well as a late-night cocktail. I’m also a decaf chai every night kind of person, so this syrup was always going to happen.

This week’s syrup bottles all of it up. And that brings me to the syrup:

chai syrup

Warm chai spices in a sweet, stirrable syrup. Keep a jar in the fridge for coffee, cocktails and cider all season.

what to make with it

  1. ​This cozy nightcap has cardamom, orange and tea-infused ice cubes, so every sip gets better as they melt.
    ​
  2. ​Start a pot of this and your kitchen will smell like fall for hours. Stir a spoonful of chai syrup into your mug for a spiced twist.
    ​
  3. ​This after-dinner pick-me-up is bold, cozy and just indulgent enough. Shake one up when you want dessert and a nightcap in the same glass.

If you’re making the old-fashioned, keep a bottle of orange bitters nearby. A couple of dashes pull the citrus and spice together.

something to go with it

Bake a batch of these and your kitchen will smell like chai all day. They’re spiced, streusel-topped and made for slow Sunday mornings.

I hope you give this syrup a try — hit 'reply' and let me know your favorite way to use it. I read every one!

Keep it sweet & simple this week, friends!
