I love chai tea!  This mocktail is fresh, lively, and a special offering for those desiring a non-alcoholic beverage.  I find star anise in the Mexican spice area of grocery stores. 

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice
  • 8-12 ounces of club soda
  • 4 whole star anise pods
  • 4 lemon twists
  • 2 chai tea bags
  • 1 cup boiling water

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Combine the tea bags and 1 cup of boiling water in a small bowl; cover and let sit for 8-10 minutes
  2. Add sugar; stir to dissolve.
  3. Squeeze & discard tea bags and let cool.
  4. Stir chai syrup and lime juice in pitcher to combine.
  5. Divide among 4 rocks glasses filled with ice and add 2-3 ounces of club soda to each. Garnish with anise pods and lemon twists.
