Chaiii it!

Hey, YOU! Yep you!

I know you love chai, but serrrrriously its SO expensive to buy one every time we get a craving for one. Am I right?

Well guess what? Now you can have the savory, spicy, satisfying blend of flavors that will leave you saying, "mmmmmmm. . . ," and all with ingredients you are sure to have in your spice cabinet!

First off we need to heat some milk in a small saucepan. Make sure you keep it on a medium-low heat otherwise your milk will cook!

In a small cup mix 1 spoon of vanilla, 1/4 a spoon each of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. (or if you have pumpkin pie spice you can use that and cloves. you need the extra spice!) Add 2 spoons of honey, mix well.

Add a very small amount of boiling water to this mixture and mix well. It should be pretty liquid-y and only about 1/4 - 1/3 of your mug. At this point, you can drop in a black teabag if you want caffeine. But if it's nearing bedtime, leave the teabag out! (let the tea brew for at least 3 min)

Once the milk is hot, pour it into the mug, give it one more stir for good measure and enjoy!

If you want to mix it up a bit you can add a little cocoa powder to the vanilla mixture before adding the milk, and then you have a chocolate chai!

So simple, so easy, and you don't even need an espresso machine!

Let me know what you think!
