Hey, Reader!
One of my favorite things during the fall is warming spices everywhere. Anything that contains cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice, star anise or ginger is a cozy recipe in my book!
Chai is such an easy way to enjoy spiced flavors alongside a subtle sweetness that works in everything from cocktails to coffee (and tea, of course).
Whether you prefer to pass on all things pumpkin or just want to mix things up every once in a while, these recipes are bound to hit the spot:
chai syrup
This simple homemade syrup will quickly become your most used simple syrup around the fall and winter months. It's the perfect way to infuse a little — or a lot of — chai flavor into almost anything.
chai old-fashioned
This whiskey drink may be the perfect nightcap for the colder months. It's made with cardamom bitters and chai simple syrup, with tea and spices infusing layers of flavor to create a comforting sipper.
chai espresso martini
Warm chai spices are the perfect pairing for bold coffee. Think of this like a dirty chai cocktail that’s perfect for cozying up with during colder weather.
autumn spice latte
I call this drink an autumn spice latte because it's got all the cozy fall flavors in it, but is perfect for anyone who is averse to pumpkin. Chai simple syrup is the perfect way to get the spicy/sweet combo that's hard to beat.
chai snickerdoodles
These easy cookies are the most delicious sweet treat! Trade the classic cinnamon sugar coating for a sweet chai spice mixture anytime you crave some coziness.
Stay cozy!
