Well, I’m all out of sorts with this weather! It’s been raining so much in NC and it’s been super chilly. While I can’t wait for spring to arrive with its warmer temps, I’ll happily substitute this cozy drink for the time being. Typically served in autumn and winter, this vanilla chai old fashioned full of warm spices and a touch of vanilla makes for the perfect drink to cozy up with while the weather is still cool.
