    "Chai" Love You

    January 18, 2012

    Steve makes fun of me all the time {for various & sundry reasons} because he is amused by the fact that I always have to end each meal with a little something sweet.

    I won't deny it.  Whether it's some fruit, a piece of chocolate, or a pint of some ice cream... I look forward to that moment when I can indulge my sweet tooth.

    I've also become quite fond of having a nice hot cup of something to sip on in the evenings. Most of the time it's hot cocoa {which goes great with Homemade Vanilla Marshmallows}, decaf coffee {because I'd rather not be bouncing off the walls into the night}, or, more recently, a soothing cup of tea.

    But to be quite honest, I haven't always been a huge fan of hot tea. That is, until I tried Chai.

    I got hooked on Chai when I used to frequent Starbucks as my "office" and happened to have an excess of Starbucks gift cards. There is something so snuggly and comforting about the flavors in Chai Tea. Cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and pepper combine to form a warm, comfy blanket in tea form.

    So, imagine my elation when I found this recipe for White Chocolate Chai Tea. Holy. Moly.

    Combining a sweet treat and delicious hot tea blends both of my evening indulgences into one amazing treat... one that even Steve joined me in sipping on. I can't imagine a sweeter way to end the day.

     

    White Chocolate Chai Tea
