Dirty Chai Syrup
This dirty chai syrup is what makes this drink very special. This syrup comes together in less than 5 minutes. Add togeteher the honey, wayer, chai syrup and bring to a light boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add vanilla extract, and that’s how easy it is! Add 1-2 tablespoons to your espresso martini depending on how strong of a chai flavour you would like.
This syrup is actually enough for 4-6 martinis. You could also add this syrup to your coffee, tea or latte!
Milk of Choice
You really can add whatever milk you like. To make it extra creamy try adding milk or even cream. If you are looking for a dairy free option some other milks could include:
- Coconut Milk
- Soy Milk
- Almond Milk
- Oat Milk
For my martini I used oat milk to make it dairy free but to give it a really creamy texture!
