~Janine's Chai Tea~
It was 3 degrees Fahrenheit today excluding the windchill. Not the best day for frolicking outside, but the perfect day for cozying up with a cup of hot tea and a good book...or in my case, a super cute and squirmy 1 year old.
My recipe for chai tea is a warming go to in our house. The spices all have warming properties, with the exception of fennel, which is great for digestion.
