Chai Latte


Prep time: 
5 minutes

"Cooking Time"
5 minutes 

Yields: 
1 servings

Ingredients: 
1 Chai tea bag of your choice (I love Yogi Tea Chai Roobios)

Directions:Open tea bag.  Inhale the aroma of the chai. Smile.  Add two cups of hot water to your tea kettle and heat for a few minutes until steam and small bubbles appear. Boiling water is not necessary for seeping tea, and can burn the leaves, causing a bitter flavor. Plus, it takes longer to cool.

Pout hot water into mug and steep tea bag for 3-5 minutes (or longer) to ensure you have harvested all of the goodness of the herbs and spices.

Add ice to a heat proof insulated tumbler (Target has a great selection).  Squeeze tea bag to get every last drop before placing in trash or compost. 

Carefully pour tea over ice. Add a splash (or more) of your favorite non-dairy milk. Hemp, soy, and hazelnut all work great. Almond, rice, and oat are slightly thinner, but still do the trick! Look for unsweetend, organic versions free of carrageenan. I stock up on brands that are on sale.

Notes:
Easy enough to make at the office. Your tummy and your wallet will thank you.

Try making with other tea varieties.. Earl Gray, Matcha Green, the possibilities for afternoon iced tea latte bliss are endless!
