Make the chai simple syrup by bringing water and brown sugar to a boil. Turn off heat once the brown sugar dissolves and add tea bag. Steep for at least five minutes. Remove tea bag and chill.
1
In an old fashioned glass, add the brown sugar-chai simple syrup and orange bitters. Stir to combine.
2
Add the ice cube and bourbon and stir to chill. This also helps the ice cube start to slowly melt into the drink.
3
Twist the orange peel over the old fashioned glass to release the oil and add to glass. If desired, garnish with a cherry and cinnamon stick. Enjoy!

I love a good, classic Old Fashioned, but I might like this chai flavored version even more. I made these for friends last night and everyone agreed that they are dangerously good.
