Chai Tea Latte (Just Like Starbucks)

 

The leaves are starting to change color, the air is getting crisp and the kiddos are back in school.  All of these cues are pointing to one conclusion:  my Starbucks Chai Tea Latte budget is about to go through the roof!  Luckily I've been toiling away in the kitchen stirring large pots of chai brews, concocting the perfect Starbucks fake.  After tossing the vats of homemade chai down the drain and deciding that an already made chai tea bags are just as tasty and much easier to make than mixing a thousand different spices together, I've perfected the quintessential fall drink.  I prefer vanilla soy creamer in my latte because I like the flavor better, but you could use regular cream and add a drop or two of vanilla extract.  Just remember that the soy creamer is sweetened so you may want to add more maple syrup if you use regular cream or milk.

Cinnamon Hot Chocolate in a Jar
This year I attempted to make most of my Christmas presents.  I wanted to make hot chocolate in a jar because I feel like it is a classic present that the whole family can enjoy, but I wanted to give it a little twist so I added cinnamon.  You can purchase dehydrated mini marshmallows online if you can’t find them where you live.  I bought mine from Amazon.  I used some birch bark from my yard to create a personal message and tied it to the ribbon on the jar.  I also made mixing directions on the computer, printed them and put them in the jar.  Merry Hot Chocolate drinking!
