Good Morning Chai tea…
A lot of people like to drink coffee in the morning. I have more of a sweet tooth and don’t like the bitter taste of coffee. I like Chai tea. I like to drink it cold with ice on summer afternoons. But most of all, I enjoy having a hot cup of chai tea in the morning. It helps to jumpstart my day. I also like it creamy with a lot of foam on top. This is a perfect drink for these cool days coming this fall and winter. I’ve tried many brands. One day my husband found this chai at the store and brought it home to me. Oh my! It is my new favorite!

The brand is Maxwell House international chai latte. I don’t have all the special milk foam devices, so this tea works great for me. The container says to use with water however, I use milk. I heat up a large cup of milk in the microwave. Be careful taking it out. I’ve found some cups get hot, and especially when I’m not quite awake, it is not fun burning my hand in the morning. I have been able to find cups with handles that don’t get hot in the microwave. It takes some testing, but they are out there.
After I take my cup out of the microwave, I skim the top with a spoon, in case the milk has some skim after heating. I don’t like that in my chai. Then I put in about 3 heaping teaspoons of the chai mix. Granted I use a large cup, so if your cup is smaller you won’t need that much. Stir until mixed in and you will notice the froth on the top. Yum!
You can also add to it for a variety. I tend to add honey most days because I like it a little sweeter. I have also added a little stevia vanilla sweetener, vanilla coffee creamer, or caramel coffee creamer to taste. For a special treat some mornings I add whip topping. I haven’t added cinnamon, although it would probably be good. That I may need to try. If you don’t want the extra calories of milk, you can drink it with water, and then treat yourself with the creamy milk when you like.
This Maxwell House International Cafe Flavored Instant Coffee, Chai Latte chai tea is such a warm soothing drink in the morning or anytime of the day. It is one of the simple pleasures I enjoy and wanted to share with you especially for those cold wintery days. It would also make a great gift idea along with my book Pure Moments: Poems and Short Stories from a Woman’s Heart to read by the fire.
