A couple of weeks ago I went to visit my kids. While hanging out with Ms. A, she introduced me to chai tea latte. It was love at first taste!! What I didn't care for was the fact that it is made with black tea. Once I returned to my home, I started to experiment to see if I could come up with a caffeine free version. This is what I came up with: Chai Tea Latte Mina Style (Makes 4 cups) 2 ginger tea bags 1 cups water 3 tbsp honey 1/2 tsp vanilla 3 pinches ground candamom 1/8 tsp ground cinnammon 2 cups milk, chilled ice Make a tea with the tea bags, water, and honey. Remove the tea bags and allow tea to cool. Place all ingredients except the ice in a blender. Blend until bubbly. Drop ice into large cup. Pour liquid over ice. When I made this, I couldn't drink all four cups of it, so I made paletas (popcycles) out of the rest. I think I might like it better as paletas than as tea!!!
