A break from sipdowns this morning.. It’s cold, so I wanted something cozy. What I really wanted was a stove top chai with milk, but we are out of milk so I will wait til later for that. I’m actually thinking of trying soy milk for chais and lattes, since milk has been upsetting my stomach more and more it seems (probably becoming lactose intolerant sigh). Any thoughts on whether I should get regular or vanilla soy milk for chai? Or rice milk?
Anyways, this tea was good, I added some brown sugar and i think i like it better without, it seems more ginger. I’d like to try this one with milk too! See previous notes :)
confession time
Oh, and i did a slight stash reduction last night.. I threw out *gasp*some bagged teas I’ve had for over 2 years that I quite drinking entirely and honestly wouldn’t drink again probably. A few were not good and one was a decent rooibos, but I have too many other rooiboses. I felt bad throwing them out, but in all honesty, they were probably stale like crazy, as the bags had all been opened. And I I didn’t want to feed people bad tea at work if I took it lol. So it’s gone now, and I’ll get over it haha. confession over

hahaha i’ve done that before, and felt just as guilty!
Lol i shouldn’t feel guilty because it’s not the best team and only cost a few bucks, but I still do! Ah us crazy tea drinkers lol
I say go with unsweetened soy milk, and then you can add whatever sweetener you like. I made chai over the stovetop a week or so ago with unsweetened soy milk and a teaspoon of brown sugar and it was awesome!
Oh, and I’ve totally thought about tossing tea too. Fortunately my coworker takes anything! :)
Life’s too short to spend drinking tea you don’t like! No shame there at all.
Thanks for the suggestion Tealizzy, I usually add honey to my chai anyways so unsweetened will probably work!
And I will get over my tea guilt haha life is too short for bad tea, especially when I have so many better ones to drink :)
My milk of choice is unsweetened almond. It goes well with chai and oatmeal.
I go for coconut almond milk. It tastes better than soy, plain coconut, or plain almond to me.
I went and bought some unsweetened soy milk and tried some just plain first and got an itchy mouth and scratchy throat :( so potentially a mild allergy? I researched and it probably is oral allergy syndrome.. As tofu is fine for me. I made a chai with it anyways and had some, it tasted good but the scratchy throat was not fun.
So I will either try almond milk or coconut for sure next, although almond might not be much better, I’m also easing my way into trying nuts like almonds, severe peanut allergy has made me scared to try them all these years lol. But happy to hear the suggestions, especially since soy milk was not the best, thanks! :)
you can always tear the bags apart and turn the tea into the soil of your garden…. acts like in-house compost for your plants! =0)
