Coconut Chai Hot Toddy

This coconut chai hot toddy is made with a generous splash of dark rum, spices and creamy coconut milk for the perfect cozy holiday drink.

This picture might make you think it’s somewhere in the 30s outside, the fire is on in the background and I’m in a constant state of sweatpant + sweatshirt wearing.

One of those things is true. I’ll let you guess which one…

Sweatpants for life.

No but seriously, this December has been so weird.

I will never complain about 50 and 60 degree temps a week or so out from Christmas though.

It makes coming home from a week long trip to Florida slightly more bearable (even though there are no more palm trees on my daily walks).

That said, my body wants it to be cold and every night since pretty much early November I’ve had the wintery “warm mugs of anything” craving kick in.

Sometimes this is simply hot tea (better yet, apple cider tea) or, if I’m feeling more ambitious, an apple cinnamon tea latte.

Other nights, it’s warmed up almond milk, almond extract, wintery spices and some stevia (<—killer), and then other nights it’s this coconut chai hot toddy.

Let’s pretend that I do the non-alcoholic version on weekday nights and the real thing only on weekends like a responsible adult would.

Riiiight.
