It is starting to feel a little bit like fall here in Northwest Iowa. I love the fall but I really hate to see the summer fly by so fast. I am getting into the spirit of fall this year by collaborating with other bloggers and creating a series of fall cocktails. This week I have made an easy RumChata Vanilla Chai Tea. It was pretty yummy!
I called in some help for these posts! Peggy will be helping me create these awesome cocktail recipes for the next 5 weeks. I hope you enjoy what we come up with. If not…at least we are having fun. Haha! If you love camping she has a great blog all about their camping adventures in their cute T@B teardrop camper. You can check it out at tabcamp.blogspot.com
Easy RumChata Vanilla Chai Tea

Step 1:
Brew the tea. Boil the water and add 2 tea bags. Let steep. We liked the drink better with strong tea. It tastes a little watery if the tea isn’t strong enough. I don’t drink much tea so I don’t have a kettle. We used a regular pot to boil and brew.
Step 2:
A drink is always better with a bit of “rimming”. This one calls for a cinnamon/sugar combo rim. This is more sugar than cinnamon. We liked the ratio of 2 tablespoons sugar to 1/4 tsp of cinnamon but the best way is to taste. Some people may love more cinnamon than others. Mix the cinnamon and sugar and place in a shallow dish.
Pour a small amount of RumChata in a separate shallow bowl.
Dip the top of your cup into the RumChata.
Then into the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
We rolled it around a bit to make sure the rim was completely covered.
Step 3:
Carefully pour the tea into the cup. We transferred it from the pot to a pyrex measuring cup with a pour spout. This way the cinnamon/sugar mixture will remain untouched.
Step 4:
Add the RumChata to the tea. It is fun to watch it swirl into the cup.
Stir it up!
Step 5:
Add the whipped cream and sprinkle with a little cinnamon, then add in the cinnamon stick (it’s just for show)!
Isn’t it pretty? And it tasted good too! Yes, we did sample the recipe. Haha!
I hope you enjoyed this easy RumChata Vanilla Chai Tea fall cocktail. Don’t forget we will be back next week for another great fall cocktail recipe!
Happy fall!

I love a warm chai, especially in cool weather. This sounds like a great way to kick that chai up a notch!

This looks like a grown up dessert in a mug! I love it. Rum chata is one of my favs, and chai tea also. I can't wait to give this drink a try. Shout out to Peggy for the help on this one!
