Spiced Chocolate Chai Latte

I was surprised how chilly it was when I went for a jog this morning.  It felt like fall.  Fall in summer?  I was thinking oh, no! Not yet!

As I was jogging, I thought about my husband’s favorite winter drink I created years ago; the Spiced Chocolate Chai Latte.  When the weather was extremely cold, my  husband would call me up on his way home and asked me to make this drink.

We just relocated to a new place from Fairfax County and Mr. M and I were invited to our neighbors home for a chat.  The lady of the house served us homemade Chai tea.  It was quite delicious and comforting.  That’s when Chai flavor became our favorite.

Well, after taking a cold shower, I felt rather cold, so instead of drinking orange juice, I made a cup of our favorite hot drink, Chocolate Chai Latte.  A sip and I wanted to just sit down and read a book while drinking this flavorful beverage.  It makes you feel warm just looking at the picture, doesn’t it?  Mm…RSCN6975
