My Secret

I have something amazing to share with you all. I am a coffee drinker and I drink a lot of coffee. But at some point, I think everyone who drinks coffee eventually comes to a point in their day where they have had enough coffee! It could be the caffeine, it could be the taste, it could be that you are just tired of it! 

A die-hard coffee drinking fan like me has a hard time admitting that. And sometimes you still want something to drink! Well- I usually will go for a chai tea drink! I love chai tea lattes, chai tea, and chai tea. At Starbucks a chai tea latte is about 4 US $ ++ if you order a grande. It almost makes you choke to have to hand that over. 

Enough of that- 
Go up to your barista
Ask for a chai tea (just a plain regular chai tea bag in hot water)
Ask for 4 pumps of Vanilla Syrup
Ask for 1/2 inch of soy milk

I spent $2.11 on my drink tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was sweet, delicious, and warm! And not overly sweet either. The perfect comfort drink if you are out and about. 

Hope you enjoy! It's cheaper than a latte and only a bit more expensive than just ordering regular tea. <3 <3

I spent my weekend with friends in Seattle and had a fantastic time! Because I'm getting ready to head out on my European adventure, I think I held this event as extra special. Good friends are hard to come by. <3 <3

    Good heavens! Who are you, and what have you done to my friend Emily? Coffee was like your identity. We need to have another get-together so I can meet this new edition of Emily. :P

    @anonymous- Barista is the person who makes the coffee drink. And the word is actually non-gender specific. :D So, it does't matter who's making the coffee- they're still considered a barista. LOL

    @dull boy- HAHA- your comments always make me laugh. :D

    @Benjamin- LOL! :D True true, but sometimes one can only have so much coffee! That being said- the day you start drinking coffee i think I'll fall off the earth. ;)

    @Pop Champagne- It is EXPENSIVE!!! I really don't understand how people can keep buying those lattes time after time. In my state a grande is almsot $5!! Talk about OUCH!

    Thanks for the love everyone! <3
