Ok, I'll admit it...I enjoy a good cup of coffee or tea from Starbucks or The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. But I HATE, absolutely HATE spending my hard earned cash on the tiniest cup. So I've learned to make great tasting drinks at home so I can enjoy my coffee/tea without spending too much money. (Then when I do splurge at Starbucks or CB & T, I don't feel as bad). During the holidays, I bought peppermint hot cocoa from Walmart for about 5 dollars a tin (10 oz). I added about 2 tablespoons to my coffee to make peppermint mochas. Recently, I've been drinking tea (peppermint tea, chamomile, green tea), but the watery teas were becoming bland to me. So I picked up some chai tea at the store and added water to that, but it was still bland. So I created my own recipe that ended up tasting just like chai tea from the cafes. Here's my recipe:
1 tea bag of chai tea (I use Bigelow's Vanilla Chai)
8 oz. of milk (or enough to fill your mug)
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Vanilla Extract
Sugar
Step 1: Heat the milk...I boil it in a saucepan.
Step 2: Once the milk is hot, turn down the heat and place the tea bag in the milk, stir.
Step 3: Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a drop of vanilla extract, stir.
Step 4: Stir well and pour into mug
Enjoy! Be warned that I like my tea sweet which is why I added sugar, plus the spices. It's yummmmmy! :) Blessings!
It's really yummy!
Seee?? It makes me smile! :)
