Hot cocktails are lovely for a chilly night by the fire. This recipe calls for masala chai tea, which is packed with spicy sweet aromas — perfect to warm you up.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat soy milk until steaming. Pour into a heat-proof mug.
Add tea, Cinnamon & Anise Spiced Syrup and bitters. Garnish with star anise pods.
Tips
Cinnamon & Anise Spiced Syrup
Makes about 11⁄2 cups/375 mL (12 oz)
In a small pot, combine sugar, mint, water, cinnamon, cloves and anise. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until all of the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and let cool completely. Using a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, strain out all the solids.
Pour the syrup into a squeeze bottle or a container with a lid, such as a mason jar. Store for up to 4 weeks in the fridge.

There’s a drink called Sanbitter, a glowing red Italian soda that comes in doll-sized glass bottles. It looks playful but pours up a serious bite. Mix it with some cherry juice, a homemade syrup and club soda, and you’ve got a No-Groni, the zero-proof version of its boozy sister, the Negroni.
In a glass half-filled with ice cubes, combine Sanbitter, cherry juice and Juniper Berry Syrup. Add club soda and stir.
Run the skin (orange) side of the orange peel around the rim of the glass. Then twist it to further express the oils and drop it in.
Tips
Juniper Berry Syrup
Makes about 11⁄2 cups/375 mL (12 oz)
In a small pot, combine sugar, water, crushed juniper berries, orange peel and rosemary. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until all of the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Using a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, strain out the berries, orange peel and rosemary leaves, pressing the berries with the back of a spoon to get all the liquid out.
Pour the syrup into a squeeze bottle or a container with a lid, such as a mason jar. Store for up to 4 weeks in the fridge.
