I learned this recipe from some friends from the Island of Reunion. It is always a hit with friends, and it's delicious. It is at its best when it has a day to meld the flavors in the fridge. Serve with ice cubes and garnish with lemon or lime slices if desired.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 chai tea bag

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 8 cups pineapple juice

  • 2 cups rum, or as needed

  • 1 cup dry vermouth (such as Martini®)

  • 3 tablespoons vanilla-flavored syrup

Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; pour into a mug and brew chai tea for 5 minutes. Remove tea bag and mix brown sugar into the hot tea until dissolved. Allow tea to cool for about 10 minutes.

Cook's Note:

If you cannot find Indian chai tea, fill a tea filter or coffee filter with with 4 cloves and 1/4 teaspoon each of black ground pepper, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cardamom. Infuse this mixture with a regular black tea bag.
