Hey babes!

I love chai latte, but all of the store bought concentrates are either packed full of sugar or artificial sweeteners that leave me with a pounding migraine. So instead, I make it myself. It doesn’t take long and it’s free of all the ingredients I don’t want. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
