Cooking Instructions

step 1

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, lightly toast the Masala Chai Spices: Green Cardamom Pods (7), Black Cardamom (3), Cinnamon Sticks (2), Black Peppercorns (1 tsp), Whole Cloves (5), Whole Nutmeg (1), Vanilla Bean Pod (1), and Grapefruit Peels (1).

step 2

Add Fresh Ginger (3 1/3 Tbsp) and Water (2 cups) to the pan. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.

step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add Black Tea (0.5 oz). Cover and let steep for 15 minutes.

step 4

Using a slotted spoon, remove the spices and tea from the saucepan.

step 5

To make this into a syrup, add Granulated Sugar (1 cup) to the mixture and heat over medium-high until dissolved. Once thickened slightly and dissolved, remove from heat and set aside.

step 6

In an Irish coffee mug, measure 40 ml of the Chai Syrup, BACARDÍ® Spiced Rum (1.5 fl oz) and Milk (1/2 cup). Stir with a bar spoon until combined.

step 7

To garnish, grate Whole Nutmeg (to taste) using a Microplane and serve.
