Spicing Up My Morning Coffee


Sometimes usually I have disastrous kitchen accidents, but other times I have happy ones. This particular accident falls into the latter category. Absentmindedly pouring chai concentrate into my coffee instead of milk one day turned out to be a wonderful mistake. In the past I have been known to order a "dirty chai" (or extra dirty if I'm feeling frisky!) from coffee shops, but for some reason had never considered doing it at home. I rather like the way spices up (pun intended) my daily cup o' joe. 

I think it's best when you add shots of espresso to a chai latte, but just splashing some milk (love it with vanilla almond milk!) and chai concentrate to a cup of coffee does the trick as well. 

Also, personal preference, but I will only drink Oregon Chai. Say no to Tazo. Blech.

Oh my gosh, yum! I feel so slighted for never having known what a 'dirty chai' was until now! I need one immediately.

Have you tried Big Train chai? It's powdered and a bit sweeter, but significantly better than Oregon. Trust me! (If you like a sweeter chai!)

Loving your site by the way.

I completely agree with you on this one. I discovered oregon chai about a month ago and I quickly became a fan. Now I will have to try dirty chai and I am sure it will be very good.

I agree... Tazo = No! Have you ever tried David Rio Chai? It's a bet creamier, but amazing.

Ooh, that's brilliant. I just ran out of coffee this morning (NOOO) but now I know what I'll be trying when I'm back in the land of the living!
