Chai Spice Moonshine
Quart Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 6 chai tea bags
- 12 oz moonshine, 150 proof (adjust for preference or proof)
Instructions
- Stir the sugar into the warm water until it dissolves. Cool completely.
- Pour the sweet water and the moonshine into a quart jar. Add the tea bags.
- Steep 1 to 2 hours. Taste every 30 minutes and pull the bags out when the spice tastes right.
- Rest 1 day in the fridge. Serve chilled.
Pro Tip
Pro Tip: Never squeeze the tea bags when you pull them out. Squeezing pushes bitter tannins into the jar. Let them drain on their own.
*Calculated proof: about 28 percent ABV in the finished quart jar, based on 150 proof moonshine.
