There is nothing I like more than sitting with a nice, hot cup of chai on a cold winter or rainy day. It’s also pairs well with one of those “I had a shitty time at work” days and a good book. Chai tea is great by itself, but it’s even better in latte form.
I’ve been on this kick lately, which is surprising given that I’m not much of a tea drinker. So for all of you that don’t necessarily love the taste of tea, give chai lattes a try before swearing tea off completely. Not only will you get a kick of antioxidants that fight free radicals (basically, you’ll be drinking “good guys” that fight and kill the “bad guys”), but you’ll also be getting a boost of vitamin D, calcium, and protein from the milk. Its creamy, not too frothy, slightly sweet concoction will leave you in a state of pure bliss.
Save a bit of money and make your own:
-Your favorite chai tea (try to steer clear of the powdered
stuff). I like Bigelow’s Vanilla Chai
-1c. Milk (almond, soy, and coconut are great and give it a
slightly different flavor)
-2-3 pkt Splenda or sugar
-1 tsp. Cinnamon (ground or a whole stick)
-Dash of Vanilla
I do not like the taste of tea by itself but with any flavor in it's pretty great. They actually sell a bunch of different kinds of ice tea over here. I've not seen any Chai tea though. That taste test is going to have to wait till I get home.
