Iced Chai Latte

Sorry about my momentary hiatus this week. I wish I had a hectic schedule to complain about but honestly I just wasn't feeling the inspiration. 

Anyways, I'm back (mostly) and I wanted to share one of my favorite summer (actually year round... lezbehonest) treats: Iced Chai Lattes.  Naturally, I started loving these back in highschool (many, many moons ago) from Starbucks, but as I got older my tastebuds changed and the intensity of the sugar in their chai just became unbearable. (I've heard you can order them differently but I do not have the patience for that.) 

I eventually found an adequate replacement that was definitely not too sweet (in fact they make one that  is intentionally "slightly sweet" from this brand Oregon Chai. I originally tried their regular flavor after working at a local cafe that used this for their chai drinks and loved it way more than the Starbucks version, but while I was living in Davis for college I was in a local version of Whole Foods and stumbled upon their slightly sweet version and fell even more in love. 

Needless to say I am a total convert and I don't think that I could ever, ever buy another iced chai from Starbucks again since I've been able to make these at home. I swear if you try it this way you too will be forever converted!

(Also on a random and totally unrelated note, I realize how this is totally free advertising for whatever company that is printed on my pint glass. I am not even remotely affiliated with them and this post has nothing to do with them and appears on my blog purely out of coincidence.)
