Living so close to the beach, I often wake up to a cool marine layer hovering over the loft. Instead of turning on the heat, I like to make my coconut chai tea latte to warm up my toes. It uses classic chai spices: cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and assam black tea, along with a little fresh ginger. I hope you enjoy it!
