This chai-spiced white Russian has all the great flavors of the classic plus a delicious Holiday spin from cream flavored with chai spices.

Chai-spiced cream ingredients:
The chai-spiced cream for this recipe is cold-infused with fresh ginger, a cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns, cardamom seeds.

How to make it:
See full ingredient amounts and instructions in the recipe card below!
Infusing cold cream with chai spices is easy to do but it does take a little bit of time. (The cream and the spices need to chill in the fridge for 12 hours.)

- (Optional): If you have a mortar and pestle, add cloves, peppercorns and cardamom seeds to it and lightly crush them. This will help release their flavors. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, simply skip this step and use the whole seeds.

- Peel, then thinly slice the fresh ginger.

- Add all spices to the cream.

- Make sure the spices are submerged in the cream. Cover, then transfer the mix to the fridge and chill for 12 hours. After the chill time, strain out the spices.
How to serve it:
When you’re ready to make the drinks, add ice cubes to each glass. Pour equal parts coffee liqueur, vodka and chai-spiced cream over the ice.
Should I mix the drink?
Whether or not you mix the white Russian is up to you. The drink looks prettier when layered but I personally think it tastes better when mixed.
