My favorite way to start the day is with a warm cup of chai tea. Here's a wonderful recipe of Chia Latte using essential oils that you might want to make for yourself or for a bunch of your favorite people. Be your own barista and recreate the coffee shop magic of a creamy, foamy, spicy chai latte at home.
Making chai lattes infused with essential oils is easy. You’ll need an tea cup with lid, toothpicks, tea pot, and stove.
The trick to keeping essential oils "good stuff" is to stir them in AFTER you have heated the water and let it cool. If you heat essential oils, the properties of the oils will change. So to keep the "good stuff," add after everything has been heated.
