How to make a good, easy chai latte

Christopher Masto, the man behind the occasional video series, "Does it Go With Tea," (which we featured back in February) offers a quick tutorial on how to make a chai latte at home. While it's not a traditional method for chai, it does offer a good way to whip up a Starbucks-esque beverage in the comfort of your own kitchen (useful knowledge in these days of rising prices).

I think the best takeaway tip from this video is that recommendation to froth the milk prior to heating. I have the very same immersion milk frother, and I always heat the milk before trying to froth it, mistakenly thinking that I would lose all my froth in the microwave. It's nice to now know a better way to do it.

Goodbye chai, hello...something else?

I have received some devastating personal news that I would like to share with Slashfood readers. We don't usually use this blog to talk about private issues in our lives, but I think this is something that needs to be said.

Seattle's Best is taking over the cafes at Borders Books.

Nooooooooooooo! As I've talked about here previously, I am addicted to the Borders chai. There's something about it that is unlike any other chai I've ever tasted. The Starbucks chai doesn't taste the same, the Peet's chai doesn't, and none of the store chais I've ever tasted even come close. And now I find out that in May, Seattle's best will take over the Borders cafes. Nothing against their coffee or pastries, I'm sure they're great. But this means that the chai will probably taste like the Starbucks chai, since Seattle's best is owned by the same company. (Does it, readers?)

It also means that next week I'm going to go on the biggest shopping spree I've been on in years, stocking up on cans of powdered Borders chai so I have enough to hold me over for the next several months.
