to not know what a chai fecking latte is?

[fryalot]

I don't think I'm the only one either.

So, seriously, what is one?

(apologies if it's tres obvious, don't get out much )

Is it a type of chicken?

Dunno.

it's s dog isn't it?

It's a decaff milky tea spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. YOu can get it in a tub from tescos. It's yummy. I quite fancy one now!

Hope that helps

I thought it was a sort of excercise.
Madonna does it.

ha, i've just asked that on other thread aswell.

Love it - it's my Starbucks drink of choice (not that I've had enough cash to go there for a while :( )

well, as one who likes strong black tea - it sounds horrendous!

Does it come with frothy milk as well?

I think it looks like

this

nice hairdo

I've never had one in a coffee shop...I do the cheapy one at home, but it's still yummy. I don't froth the milk, but I do warm it.

The Starbucks 'chai latte' is horrible in my opinion, so oversweetened it's just like vaguely tea-flavoured syrup.

Proper chai (spiced tea) sweetened to taste is lovely though, used to have an Indian friend at university who made it sometimes.

You are clearly not middle class enough and should not even be on MN.

Well that's all very well, but it can't be truly delicious, not like Ribena.

YABU. How did you even find MN without your daily chai latte? I bet you don't even subscribe to Homes and Gardens do you?

Squonk, come & play pillow fights....

over here

you're quite right of course, not middle class enough.

I shall de-register forthwith

It's what the middle class have stolen from the poor Indians and they can't even do it properly. The ones in Starbucks are urgh, get one for 5 rupees at a train station in Kolkata and they're scrummy [sits back and mourns for my carefree backpacking days.........]

it's NOT TEA

but if you think of them as warm milkshakes (and you like very sweet milky drinks) then they are quite yummy in a totally wrong kind of way

mind you I drink hot milk with sugar and nutmeg in it much to dh's disgust

a warm, frothy, sweet drink I could do... but sweet, milky tea - nah! p'raps if I call it (to myself) a shy latte I will be able to stomach one

I thought the middle classes had stopped going to Starbucks...what with them not using bone china coffee cups

Tea made with mostly milk and spiced with warming indian type spices

Tea wiv milk, innit?

It is vile.
Contravenes all the rules of tea and lattes.
