Chai Tea at Home!

I’ve become absolutely addicted to Chai tea. I feel like I’m betraying coffee, somehow, by saying that, but since it’s still the angel of my mornings, maybe it’ll understand.

In Owensboro we have a great Coffee House, Beyond the Brim. They’re the ones that got me hooked on the stuff. But I can make a pretty close “knock-off” here at home for those times when they aren’t open when the mood hits me.

Celestial Seasonings makes a “Teahouse Chai” flavor in their specialty coffee line. (I’ve fallen for tea so hard that I’m working my way through all of their flavors, and there are ALOT of them!)

I make the tea according to the box, then sweeten it - don’t skip that part….don’t ever skip that part - then I add what makes the tea utterly delicious: Steamed, foamed 2% milk. If you heat the milk (and it really needs to be lowfat, it just works better), then whip it up in a blender, it’ll get nice and foamy. Then, you’ll want to just spoon a little into your cup of tea. It’s almost as important as the sweetener, so don’t leave out the foamed milk either.

Now you can sit down with your tea and read your paper, or better yet - watch the next Survivor episode. (This HAS GOT TO BE Steph or Bobby John’s year!!)
