Caption: _______ Dirty Chai Latte r e c i p e
Caption: It snowed once on Sunday. It snowed again Thursday night. And everything is frozen solid today. When the weather outside is frightful, I go full-on "grandma" and spend my days knitting under two blankets in my rocking chair. Okay, just kidding about the knitting. And the rocking chair (although I'm not opposed to either), but my favorite way to cozy up is with a cup of something warm.

Caption: A dirty chai is something I once ordered awhile ago and have been slightly obsessed ever since. It obviously appeals to my Indian roots with the flavorful and spicy chai ingredients but gets me hyped up on caffeine like the true American I am with a rich shot of espresso--perfection! If you like chai but finds it lacks an extra kick, I highly recommend this one.
