An unopened carton of this concentrate was passed along by a coworker who didn’t think it tasted like she expected. So I set the bar pretty low…
…and jumped over it by a mile! I used 50-50 skim milk and half & half (does that make it half of half & half? or a quarter?) with an equal dollop of the concentrate, whisked away, and threw it in the microwave. Delicious! Chai purists would probably note that there isn’t enough cardamom or anise in the spice blend, but neither of those are my favorite lead notes. Honey and cinnamon are in the forefront here, so what I’ve got sitting next to me in my favorite hand-thrown mug is pretty much eggnog.
Not sure what I’m enjoying more…the beverage, the pleasantly murky weather that makes it comfortable to drink seasonal stuff, or a little quiet time with my feet up to contemplate it.
Quiet time is best savored with a cup of tea!
