Vanilla Chai Tea Latte - Mom On Timeout

Comfort in a cup! Now you can make your own Vanilla Chai Tea Latte at home!

Several years ago my little sister, Ashley, introduced me to chai tea. I know, where was I? Living under a rock I suppose 🙂 We were at our older sister’s house and rummaging through her tea collection. (Melissa is quite the tea connoisseur. No joke. I would guess that she has somewhere around one or two thousand bags of tea in her house.)

It’s really quite fun because whenever we get together, I get to try out a new tea or indulge in an old favorite. Well, I instantly fell in love with the chai tea blend. It has so much more flavor than other teas. A nice surprise with just enough spice to make you sit up and take notice.

Since then my sister has kept me well-stocked with chai tea but sometimes, I like to make it on my own. I love being able to control the amount of spice that goes into my Vanilla Chai Tea Latte and once I tried it with a dash of vanilla, there was no going back. Now if you are just seriously rolling in it, go ahead and use a vanilla bean. I’m way too frugal for that but I can only imagine how amazing it would taste.

I’ve been enjoying a steaming mug of tea several times a day as I’ve been fighting off the cold I caught a few weeks ago in Salt Lake City. Fortunately for me, NO ONE else has caught the cold – can I get a hallelujah!
