I’ve been continuing to plow through my tea collection, and I managed to polish off the last bit of red chai from Republic Of Tea, which if you haven’t tried it is a really nice blend of Rooibos and spices you would typically find in a chai. I still have quite a bit of cider leftover from the weekend, and decided to drink half red chai and half cider. Drinking equal parts cider and red chai is just instant autumn for me; the spices you would find in a chai are used throughout the season, and apples are also a must. I have half of my chai puerh leftover from work this morning… I might add cider to it tomorrow, assuming a little milk doesn’t seem more tempting to my weak morning stomach.
Chai
Maple Chai Yogurt Concoction
I’ve been having a hankering for chai pudding lately. I’ve searched the internet but haven’t found many results. Instead of making a dessert though I opted to make a yogurt cup with chai spices instead. I took oatmeal, vanilla greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, fresh ginger, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and maple syrup to make something like a maple chai. For the crunch topper I have chocolate granola with dried red berries. I’ve already had a little taste, and I’m already looking forward to lunch breakfast tomorrow!
A Meal Well Seasoned
I had some Shrimp lying around in the freezer, and green curried rice sounded nice. So I made that for dinner tonight along with some veggies.
This is a Thai inspired hot and sour salad. I didn’t have all the vegetables I needed in order to make it, but it still tasted fine to me.
For a light dessert type thing I had a green chai with coconut milk and a little honey. This particular chai blend has almonds in it, complimenting the green tea and the coconut milk.
The best part is that I have plenty of leftovers for after work. I’ve been doing milkshakes in the afternoon the last couple of days and it’ll be nice to have some noodles to greet me after work.
