Hug in a mug

Something about the spiciness of warm chai comforts me. I frequently buy myself chai lattes, usually from Starbucks. I also make myself chai lattes at home.

In mid October I bought a few pie pumpkins and made my own pumpkin puree. I made a loaf of pumpkin bread, a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dessert, and the other day I made some pumpkin spice syrup from a recipe over at A Teaspoon and A Pinch.


Now I am armed to make myself a real hug in a mug.


Steep two bags of chai in a mug, leave room for milk. 


Add in a few tablespoons of pumpkin spice syrup.


Mix in some warm milk of choice, I used canned coconut milk for extra creaminess.


Enjoy a warm and comforting mug of tea.
