Today being the cold and long day that it was, I was starting to get comfortable under some blankets watching TV while starting to fall asleep. It being barely 8pm, I decided that couldn’t happen. I brewed up some of my dirty chocolate chai with a slight twist: bring water to boil in a pot, add 1/2 tsp rock sugar, dissolve, add 2 tsps chocolate chai, let boil 3 minutes, lower temperature, add 1 tsp instant coffee (I know, I apologize, but desperate times call for desperate coffee), let cook one minute, add milk to taste, let warm through (about 20 seconds), strain and enjoy.
Blasphemous? Possibly. Delicious? Definitely. Best of all, I am wide awake and warm to the bone. Enjoy!

Freakin love this! Not blasphemous at all! But even better things are coming for you in the chai department- you ain’t drank nothin’ yet! TEAhe;)
i am so excited for that chocolate chai, i feel i can deplete this stash now, haha :)
I think this one is good for a regular chai, not feeling the chocolate so much though.
I picked up the chocolate chai sample recently but I haven’t tried it yet…this is a good reminder to make a point to do that! Maybe tomorrow…
the chocolate in the adagio chocolate chai is VERY mild, there is only a slight chocolatey/malty aftertaste of chocolate, i would call it more chai with a little chocolate, but that’s probably too long of a name.
This is some sort of telepathy given the conversation I was having with Cofftea a few hours ago.
I will be adding some chocolate to my chai tonight to see what happens. Oh and its about 100 degrees F hotter here
chocolate and chai are universally wonderful, so everyone who has had them together always talks about them :). and it’s that hot out, wow, enjoy the chai, i probably couldn’t enjoy it as much if it was so hot…
Cinoi, when it’s hot steep the chai in 1/3 cup water, cool, and freeze. Once frozen, add 2/3 cup milk to a blender w/ the chai ice, and blend. Top w/ whipped cream? You can also add ice cream, but if you do I suggest making the chai ice 2x strength or the ice cream will dilute the chai flavor:)
@cofftea—That sounds wonderful!
@cofftea, definitely going to have to try this, should I aim to use plain chai or will the chocolate chai work?
Oh definitely use Mayan Chocolate Chai- it has me spoiled. That’s the only black based chai I’ll be drinking from now on:)
