Categories     beverage

Time 5m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 chai tea bag
3/4 cup hot water
3/4 cup hot apple cider
1/4 cup whipped cream
Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Steep the tea bag in the hot water in a regular or glass mug for 10 minutes; remove the tea bag. Add the apple cider, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape during cooking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Use fresh spices: Freshly ground spices will provide the most flavor. If you don't have whole spices, you can use store-bought ground spices, but use half the amount.

  • Serve warm: Apple cider is best served warm. You can reheat it in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
  • Garnish with your favorite toppings: Apple cider can be garnished with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, cinnamon sticks, or grated nutmeg.

Conclusion:

Chai spiced apple cider is a delicious and easy-to-make fall drink. It is perfect for sipping on a cold day or enjoying at a holiday party. With its warm and inviting flavor, chai spiced apple cider is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
