Masala Chai Hot Toddy
I'm a lover of hot drinks - when most people switch to the Frappuccinos or iced coffees in the summer months, you'll still find me with my cup of hot coffee.
So in the spirit of Christmas, while everyone else is sipping on their warm mulled wine, I'll be sipping on this masala chai hot toddy, my very own creation.
The drink makes for a perfect cold remedy, or simply something to get warm and cozy with.
