Papa’s Chai
HELLO HOLIDAYS!
I will keep this post short and sweet so we can all get back to our festivities. Chai. A drink that can be done so many ways. At home, this is the way we make it, and we LOVE it. Since it is a more traditional chai, it will not taste like the chai latte served by your local barista (don't get me wrong, I love those too). Since it is easy to make a large pot, it's perfect for entertaining or just catching up with friends and family this holiday season.
Tips & Tricks:
To get a richer taste and appearance, use evaporated milk instead of fresh milk.
