Chai is my ultimate indulgence and comfort tea. It’s what I order when I’m frazzled and running through the Starbucks drive-thru, and it’s what I have when I’m out on a “coffee date” and it’s what I choose to make almost every day for my morning cup or afternoon pick me up. The dark tea, the spices, the sweet milkiness are all the perfect blend and what makes this tea so good.

It’s just one of those drinks you can enjoy anytime- morning, noon, and night, and it’s surprisingly easy to make this Starbucks favorite at home!
