I’ve never been a tea person. I’ve tried my whole life because there’s just something about tea that seems so sophisticated and fancy. I wanted to be sophisticated and fancy. Instead I’m almost always about that coffee life.
A few years ago though, I had a Starbucks gift card and decided to try something new - I asked the barista what she recommended, and she told me that Chai Lattes were her favorite, so I got one and I don’t want to sound dramatic, but my life was forever changed.
I don’t get them often and up until recently never tried to make them for myself, but when Covid put an end to Starbucks runs, I figured I needed to learn how to make them myself, and it literally could not be simpler.
