Decaf Vanilla Chai

While I had some milk in the house, I looked through my decaf options and found that I had another tea that would pair well with milk. Decaf vanilla chai. The ingredient list looked pleasant. Cinnamon, ginger allspice, and vanilla mixed with black tea.

I opted to brew the tea bag in a smaller volume of water, and add the milk after. I don't remember if I microwaved the tea after adding the milk to make it warmer. I'll admit it was a couple of weeks ago when I made this, and I'm just now writing it up. At least it was still in March! Back when it was warm. Our winter seems to be inverted. It was warm, warm, warm, and now it's cold, cold, cold even though we are getting ever closer and closer to April.

This tea was fantastic with milk. Smooth and creamy with a pleasant flavor of vanilla. Now I suppose I should get my behind up and dressed to go grocery shopping. I remember back before I moved to the country I would always be making little trips to stores when I was tired of being at home. Groceries, clothing stores, craft stores. I didn't care about how cold it was (most of the time). I'm not sure if it is age or the pandemic, but now that I live in town again it's a major chore to go to any store. I don't know how people function without Amazon these days. I do try to buy the basics locally, but I'm increasingly finding that there are certain basics (or seemingly basic items to me) that local stores don't have anymore.
