The Ultimate Holiday Drink- Chai Nog
As the Holiday season comes to an end, and after setting fire to my oven yesterday during the snow storm I felt like giving up on cooking forever. However, after cleaning my oven and putting it back together I wanted to have something comforting to drink.
I thought of the only thing I get at starbucks during the holiday season: Chai Nog. When you order it, the barista might look at you funny, but I promise it is a thing. Since I am not a coffee fan, and the baristas will really think you're funny when you order an iced hot chocolate, I tend to stick to the chai nog.
This drink is super easy to make at home. You can brew a nice hot cup of your favorite Chai tea, or you can cheat, like me, and use the stuff that comes in a pack.
Anyway, this is not really a recipe as much as it is an idea, but here is what you need to make it:
The most important thing is deciding if you want this cold or hot. Today I went for cold, but not iced since our ice maker is also broken (the joys of home ownership!)
So you pour the chai into the cup. I use a 2:1 ratio. Two parts chai, one part nog.
Then you pour the egg nog, and you enjoy!
You can enojy this drink just for the next few weeks, then you have to wait until egg nog is back on the shelves. I hope you love it as much as I do!
