Is it just me or is the smell of chai spice the best way to cozy up on a cold day? This past week in Chicago was quiet literally arctic.

Perfect time to whip up a few chai recipes. Mix up some homemade chai spice to create delicious chai tea lattes, chai apple pie or chai oatmeal.

I’m feeling warmer already. Doesn’t hurt that it’s a casual sixty degrees warmer in Chicago today than it was two days ago. Insane, right?
