Gluten-Free Vanilla Chai Latte

This recipe sounds so good, I could use one right now!

Ingredients

2 black tea bags

2 cups full-fat coconut milk

1 tsp. raw honey

1 tsp. pure maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cardamon

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

How to make

 Steep both tea bags in 1 cup of hot water for 5 minutes. Remove and discard

Meanwhile, warm the coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat to your discard bags

Pour the warm milk into a high-powered blender and add the brewed tea, honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract. Blend until the latte is combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute

Pour into two cups and enjoy.

Fun Facts That Will Amaze You

I’m so glad you are enjoying Fun Facts. I learn something new each week, even if it’s weird. I love hearing your comments! 

The different colors of Froot Loops cereal all taste the same—they’re not individual flavors. (time.com)

What’s inside a Kit Kat? Broken Kit Kats that are damaged during production—they get ground up and go between the wafers inside, along with cocoa and sugar. That’s a way to not let anything go to waste! (today.com)

Pound cake got its name because the original recipe required a pound each of butter, flour, sugar and eggs. That’s a lot of cake—but it was meant to last for a long time.

The difference between jam and jelly is that jam is made with mashed up fruit while jelly is made with fruit juice. (bonapetit.com)

Preserves are like jam but made with more whole fruit. Marmalade is preserves made from citrus fruit

Enjoy!

Awards-A Blast From The Past

There was a time when giving awards to other bloggers was common place and were fun to participate in. Many bloggers may not have seen the old awards so I thought it would be fun to share. This post is not about me, it’s about blogging history.

What’s your favorite cartoon?

Choosing one is a difficult task because there were so many great cartoons when I was little. The one that sticks with my is Popeye, eating his spinch for strenght and declaring “I am what I am”. My memory of every episode doesn’t come to mind but Popeye had a positive attitude and always pitched in to make things right.
