I'm super sensitive to caffeine, but adore the earthiness and warmth of a good latte first thing in the morning (which I still have once in a while, but in moderation). As soon as I had my first Masala Chai Latte with soy milk, I was hooked. The warming spices, the earthiness and that slight caffeine boost did it for me.
I make the base blend in bulk (without the "milk) and keep in the fridge so that its super quick to make first thing in the morning.
