What’s better than a spiced dirty chai tea? A dirty chai tea martini of course! Spiced chai tea mixed with espresso shots and a little vodka creates a perfectly balanced cocktail with a little pick me up.
By steeping the chai tea in milk made with JOI you create a thick and creamy base for this cocktail. Using a sweetener of your choice (coconut sugar, honey, or agave) sweeten this strong chai tea to prep it for our cocktail.
