Chai Tea
Chai tea is one of my favorite “homey” drinks, add baileys to it…and how can you go wrong. comfort sips! Chai Tea is a robustly flavored drink, sweet, creamy and spicy with a slightly flowery quality from the cardamom and peppercorns, it works so well on top of this Baileys cocktail.
Recipe variation
You could also add another scoop or two of ice cream and blend this Baileys Chai into a boozy milkshake. Just make sure your chai is cooled. The flavors are absolutely irresistible and perfect for any time of year.
