Holiday Vanilla Chai Tea White Russian
This holiday season-inspired cocktail comes from halfbakedharvest.com. We specified the use of our Bluff City Chai, which is consistently a top-seller. For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Vodka and replace the Kahlua with 1/2 tsp of chocolate extract, 1/2 tsp of instant coffee powder, and 2 tablespoons of hot water.
