For a delightful treat any time of the year, brew spiced tea wine. Spiced tea, also known as Chai tea, isn't an exact blend of spices or a particular type of tea. There are many different blends of Chai tea made from cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, cardamon, anise, nutmeg, ginger, black pepper or fennel. Once you drink spiced tea wine, it will quickly become a favorite.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Black tea (1 tsp. or 1 teabag per serving)
  • Spices (1 to 2 teaspoons per serving)
  • Wine
  • Saucepan
  • Coffee grinder
  • Drip coffee pot
  • Measuring cup
  • Teaspoon
  • Sugar (if desired)
  • Water
  • Cup or wine glass
  • Water
  1. Step 1

    Grind the spices of your choice with a coffee grinder.

  2. Step 2

    Make a pot of drip coffee using the tea and ground spices in the place of the ground coffee. This makes a pot of spiced tea. The amount of water and ground spices depends on your personal taste and the strength of the tea you desire.

  3. Step 3

    Measure ½ cup of the spiced tea per serving and pour into a saucepan.

  4. Step 4

    Pour one cup of your favorite wine per serving, such as Merlot or White Zinfandel, into the saucepan.

  5. Step 5

    Add 1 to 2 tsp. of sugar per serving, if you want a sweeter spiced wine.

  6. Step 6

    Heat the mixture but don't let it come to a boil.

  7. Step 7

    Pour the spiced tea wine into cups or wine glasses. Make sure to place a teaspoon into each wine glass before pouring in the warm spiced wine. The spoon diffuses the heat so the glass won't break.

Tips & Warnings
  • Experiment with different blends of spices. The amount of spices added per serving depends on personal taste.
  • You can use a premade chai tea mix available at supermarkets, health food stores and food specialty shops.
  • Be aware that this is an alcoholic beverage. Make sure to act responsibility. Never drink and drive.
