Chai Concentrate

I love coffee, but I'm also a tea lover and for me there's nothing better than a hot cup of tea on a cold rainy day.

We've had nothing but rain here for days on end and I was in the mood for some tea, but wanted a little kick to it and I do love a good Chai Tea.

Problem is that it can be quite expensive when bought at Starbucks or anywhere else, so I went in search of the perfect homemade Chai Tea and I found it. So easy and SO SO good.
