Hot Chai Latte

My first Chai Latte, It was amazing. I will never forget.

I have never tried before , for me from BRZ .It is a big challenge, request my own coffee without language knowledge. My English is not perfect and my grammar for my point of view is terrible. So , I was in the line at Coffee shop and I saw many types of coffee and tea...hmmm..I will choose Chai Latte.. I guess the meaning hahahaha. In my confused mind ( Portuguese, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese culture) .hmm... It`s Chai for tea ( Portuguese is Cha) and Latte ( Portuguese , milk is leite and Spanish is lecche). I concluded with my capacity to guess , Chai Latte it is Tea and Milk.

For my language mistake...heehee I love Chai Latte.

I went to Woolworths ( Supermarket) and I found many types of Chai latte. I bought , not 1 but 10 boxes of different blends of Chai tea.

The good one is "Twinings, A lightly spiced Black tea infused with ginger and cinnamon , flavoured with star anise and clove. Yummy...

I appreciate so much Chai Latte.

I love those Chai latte avaiable at coffee houses around town, but I hate paying 3,50 dollars for a drink. So I start my research of the recipe for a Chai tea. I didn`t try it , but it is a recipe to start tinkering with.
