New addiction

Chai tea. Not the stuff from a teabag, brewed stuff from a cafe.

Yes, I realise that "chai tea" is like saying "Mount Fujiyama" or "ATM machine", but what else do you call it?

I'll need to find some loose leaves and attempt brewing it myself. Mmmm.

Bob really likes chai.

I discovered it in Broome when a workmate had a mug of it and I was like, "What IS that smell!?" I also learned there that it is best made with vanilla soy milk and sweetened with honey.

I love chai, but any attempts to brew it at home have been unsuccessful- less is definitely more!

I've made some nice ones by simmering the milk with herbs and spices for the requisite hour. It comes up soooooo nice.
