This hot cocktail will keep you feeling warm in more ways than one. Created by the blog The Kitchn, the smoked maple bourbon chai tea toddy is ideal if you plan on doing any fall camping this season. It's also great if you are more of an indoorsy person and just want to keep from getting cold as the cooler weather rolls in.
If you want to give this hot cocktail recipe a go at home, you will need hot water, a couple of your favorite chai tea bags, maple bourbon (such as Knob Creek), half and half plus a cinnamon stick to garnish with. Parmalat can be substituted in for half and half if you are camping, which doesn't require refrigeration.
