If you are new to the hospitality industry or even an old-timer, you should listen to the next two episodes of Lush Life. The story that unfolds over these two episodes could be your story. Our guest, Tim Etherington-Judge has literally been through it all and come out the other side with all the tools necessary to help his fellow colleagues in the hospitality industry.

Thank goodness he had the bravery to tell his story and then to establish Healthy Hospo which provides information, advice, and support on mental & physical health for all hospitality professionals. It’s best to let Tim tell you his tale, starting at the very beginning.

Our Cocktail of the Week is the Chill Your Chai.

Ingredients

• 1L Vodka
• 1L Water
• 20g Golden Tip Assam Tea
• 1.5g Masala Chai

Brew 1L Water with the Golden Tip Assam Tea and Masala Chai for 10 minutes. Add vodka and leave to cool.

To Clarify

• 1L Masala Chai Mix
• 300ml Full Cream Milk
• 8g 15% Citric Acid

Heat the milk in a pain until it’s close to boiling. Remove from heat and add to your Masala Chai Mix. Allow to stand for 30 minutes.

Add the Citric Acid and gently stir to begin the curdling process. Leave to stand and gently stir every 10 minutes for 1 hour. Leave over night.

Next day strain the mix through muslin cloth and 2 coffee filters. DO NOT try and push the mix through the filters as you will ruin the process.

To serve

Pour 150ml of your Masala Chai Mix over ice and strain into a chilled chai cutting glass. Garnish with a local flower.

You’ll find this recipe and all the cocktails of the week on ALushLifeManual.com, where you’ll also find all the ingredients in our shop.

Always remember the wise words of Oscar Wilde, “All things in moderation, including moderation,” and always drink responsibly!
