The Perfect Cup of Chai
Chai is the quintessential language of love in Indian families. My family are all full of milk lovers so we love a good rich chai. Chai is super personal, everyone has their own tastes and preferences. This recipe how my family likes to make it. We are a super bare bones family. No grated ginger, no fresh tea leaves, no mint, just chai masala and dried leaves! Speaking of Chai Masala, I made a fresh homemade batch from Piping Pot Curry! I quartered the recipe for my home, but you can easily ramp it up depending on how frequently you make tea at home. I made the masala blend by…

Mango Mint Hibiscus Power Punch
My little cousin Veer is a mini mocktail mixologist at the ripe old age of 10. We are all a little concerned for when he turns 21.

I told him if he gave me the recipe I would feature it on…

Hot Chocolate Bombs
A friend of mine reposted these hot chocolate bombs on Facebook and I knew I would have to try it out myself. I had an extra tub of melting chocolate (I use Baker’s Dipping Chocolate religiously!) in my pantry from making chocolate covered strawberries and I thought I would give it a try. This worked out great! You can fill these with instant coffee, cookie crumbles, peppermint candies, whatever catches your eye!

Here in Dallas we still will get warm enough weather that I would prefer an iced coffee to hot so this is my perfect go-to drink! It is caramel instead of pumpkin which is perfect for that fall flavor but also it is widely available enough to make year-round. I actually transitioned to drinking oat milk this year and this drink is AMAZING with oat milk. Definitely try it out if you’re looking to try to get that perfect coffee shop experience at home! Thanks to Tania Sheff for the original recipe, I have taken…
