Chai Tea Lattes! I just love these drinks at coffee shops. I've discovered a new coffee shop called Dead Poets Espresso (in my area) that I really enjoy visitting, and they serve a wonderful Chai Tea Latte. I was craving one today and found this recipe. Dead Poet's Espresso charges almost $6 for the darn latte, so I was investigating today just what the heck is in it, and here's what I found, cinnamon and spices!

Chai Tea Latte appears to be healthy (so many spices), except I order mine with skim milk and whipped cream. I can imagine the whipped cream cancels out the skim milk.... Also, alot of brown sugar according to this recipe anyway, I didn't realize that.... My dream is to concoct a Chai Tea Latte at home.
I'll cite Terry Wahls in Iowa, the neurologist who treats MS with palleo food, she says to eat 200 different plant materials each year (I think.....), to treat MS, another autoimmune disorder like myasthenia gravis, so I'll have to add all of these spices to my palleo spreadsheet 🙂 I have yet to cure my MG with food, but I'm trying.
@jakedduck1 and @lioness , @colleenyoung and @lisalucier are there coffee drinks that you enjoy?
I've contacted the all powerful at Connect (Colleen and Lisa), my username should change to something more user friendly soon, like perhaps even @Erin37 or something similar, I'm waiting in anticipation to find out my new handle on Connect ! We should celebrate with a virtual Latte when the change happens 🙂

Oh SUPER MEGA YUCK. I will never understand how any half way rational thinking person with even the slightest bit of sanity can actually enjoy that horrid concoction. I went to a couple birthday parties and they served coffee flavored ice cream, talk about cruel and unusual punishment. I haven’t gotten over that yet. I think it gave me Post Traumatic Shock Disorder. My Mother loves the nasty brew, black no less. But she initially used half coffee and half half & half. Either you like something or you don’t. You shouldn’t have to get use to it. NOW, if you want want to enjoy something drink Dr Pepper, yummy.
So no, there are ABSOLUTELY NO coffee drinks that I enjoy. And anyone who pays $6.00 for such a disgusting tasting substance well I don’t know but perplexed I and perplexed I’ll always be.

@Erinmfs Congratulations on your new name!
@Erinmfs Hi Erin, and congrats on getting a new name! Not exactly what you hoped for, but a lot better than what it was.
This recipe sounds delicious and easily customizable to accommodate things like lactose intolerance. I would also add just a tiny amount of sugar, if any, because I have mild diabetes.
@jakedduck1 I rarely pay those high prices for coffee, lattes, but I do LOVE coffee. I also love chai. By the way, chai actually means tea so if you say chai tea you are saying tea tea. I love the warm spiciness of chai. It varies depending on who makes it. Some have too much clove in them for me, but that is mainly one of the commercial companies, maybe Stash.
My son-in-law is of Indian heritage (he was born in this country) and according to him there is only one way to make chai but I am quite sure he is biased and that one way is his mother's. As with many recipes, the person making it can vary it.
