I thought a chai tea latte sounded perfect so I went online to find a good recipe. I was shocked when all I found was a bunch of instant mix recipes and weird variations, one that didn’t even contain any tea (WHAT?!). Anyway I went and made my chai tea latte from memory instead and thought I would share my recipes with you. It is a lot more labor intensive than just throwing a pot of coffee on, but it’s worth it, and is a nice chance every now and again. This recipe can be easily modified to your taste. You can add more of, or omit any of the spices. I think you are supposed to add ginger as well but I didn’t have any. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Chai Tea Latte (Apparently the old fashioned way LOL)<br /></div><div></div><div>Ingredients:</div></div><br /><div></div><div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337606282569336034" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiakBUGJqCZmw3jms49DfEYz5Si2bMXRFVts763T-vS2G3kn-IPcX8h4tSWOC6v6gZ8Ovx1hbGdMtrhgOyrmMqW7paQkIrTLRyx2_-o4qr9QWqo6kzzx4pzvrjbDVcyvdyqf6NLKg8Uo6Q/s320/cream+060.JPG" border="0" />Cardamom – 1 pod (or a few shakes of ground)<br />Allspice – a few shakes<br />Cinnamon – 1 stick (or a few shakes of ground)<br />Nutmeg – a few shakes<br />Cloves - About 10 or 1/4 tsp (or a few shakes of ground)<br />Black Peppercorns – About 10 or 1/8 tsp<br />Black Tea – 2 tea bags<br />Water – 1 ¼ cup<br />Milk – 1 cup<br />Honey – 2 tsp (can sub sugar)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh4oXdNZ6G5NYr4LC5yFFH817EkiW2ZEEl6-kEQE051YuhVKjTk4SxkxRPNor5rTLMKePmjp7J3AovkRVTA2YMCLgOQ0f63lUH_iJFMHXmAW1mOuSUyV5R28-VNt4VnNHspjk61BEmc2U/s1600-h/cream+064.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337601224933911842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh4oXdNZ6G5NYr4LC5yFFH817EkiW2ZEEl6-kEQE051YuhVKjTk4SxkxRPNor5rTLMKePmjp7J3AovkRVTA2YMCLgOQ0f63lUH_iJFMHXmAW1mOuSUyV5R28-VNt4VnNHspjk61BEmc2U/s200/cream+064.JPG" border="0" /></a>1.

My husband reenlisted for 6 MORE YEARS! Woo that seems like a lot right now. There was a nice small ceremony where my husband was sworn back in and the jokes were in full force. Then to my surprise I got a certificate as well! It was a certificate of appreciation for supporting my soldier. This was the first ceremony I have ever been to, so I fumbled around not knowing whether to shake his hand, grab the certificate, pose for a picture, or run in terror. But it was great. And it was so nice to know that they relies that it’s not just the enlisted member that is making a commitment but the whole family.Ishkabibbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04941643372868265606noreply@blogger.com3
