Bolly Nog Chai Tea

Put a twist on the holidays classic cocktail with Indian Spiced Chai. Chai means tea in Hindi.

Transfer the Bolly Nog into an air pot style thermos and set up glasses around it. Toast to the season or your favorite Hindu God (Ganesh, the elephant god of good fortune, is always a popular choice). Your guests will be brimming with good cheer.

(After the party use the cooled and used tea bags to rid the eyes of any puffiness!)
