Ingredients

• 1 litre vodka 150g crystallised ginger 1 large cinnamon stick 4 whole cloves generous pinch freshly grated nutmeg 75g light brown soft sugar 25g molasses sugar 5 chai tea bags (we used Teapigs)

Directions

• 1. Put all the ingredients except the tea bags into a large, clean airtight jar. Split open the tea bags and sprinkle into the jar. Give the contents a stir, seal tightly with the lid and store in a cool, dark place to infuse for 5 days, shaking twice a day. 2. Line a sieve with muslin (or a clean all-purpose cloth) and set over a large jug. Strain the vodka through the sieve (discard the flavourings). Pour the vodka into a new, sterilised screw-cap or Kilner bottle and seal tightly. Write the cocktail recipe above on a gift tag and tie it on the bottle, then store in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months.
