    Poor Man’s Fire Chai: Cheaper than Starbucks.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love my Starbuck Soy Chai. But, on a thirsty, chilly day, you can end up spending ten bucks a day on special coffeehouse, frothed up, cutesy named chai lattes.

    Poor Man’s Fire Chai. It’s hot! And, you can drink it in your PJ’s and slippers since you don’t need to leave the house. Yes! Here is an awesome recipe for my unique chai that will knock your slippers off!

    …and save you some money. Get more heat for your buck with my simple recipe for Poor Man’s Fire Chai.

    I call it my “Poor Man’s” Fire Chai because all you need is:

    a mug, soymilk, sweetener, spices, water and a basic tea bag.

    The secret ingredient is the cayenne. It adds a spicy kick that blows any Starbucks chai blend out of the water.

    Complete recipe follows…


    Poor Man’s Fire Chai
    Ingredients:
    black or chai tea bag
    water
    soy milk
    sweetener (I like agave syrup)*
    cayenne powder
    cinnamon powder

    To Make:
    Fill mug: ⅔ milk, ⅓ water.
    Heat liquid until hot.
    Add tea,
    2 sprinkles cayenne,
    2 sprinkles cinnamon.
    Add 2 spoonfuls agave.
    Stir well. Enjoy.

    Tip: More cayenne, more fire!

    *Non-vegans may use honey.
