Ingredients
- 2 chai tea bags
- 100-125g caster sugar

Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare to the end of step 1 a few hours ahead and reheat to serve.
- Put the tea bags, 100g caster sugar and the cinnamon sticks in a pan with 300ml boiling water and simmer for 10 minutes, then remove the tea bags. Add the apple juice and pears and bring just up to the boil.
- Take off the heat, stir in the rum and add more sugar to taste if you wish. Ladle into heatproof mugs to serve, adding an extra splash of rum and a cinnamon stick.
