A few months back, I did a 30 days of tea challenge. A lot of people suggested that I try chai in my quest to drink as many different kinds of tea as possible but I really didn’t want to. I’ve had it before and never really thought I liked it.
Then my friend Lynnee over at Club Chica Circle posted this recipe for Quick Fix Chai Tea Mix and I was curious because I love all those spices in other things. Around the same time the barista at Starbucks (or was it my friend Wendy?) recommended adding a shot of espresso to a chai tea latte, aka dirty chai, to offset the spicy and sweet, I was sold. I’ve been drinking dirty chai ever since.
And then I had the best idea of all. Lynnee’s chai spice mix + coffee + butter = bulletproof dirty chai.
Best. Drink. Ever.
The only difference between the chai spices I’ve been using and the ones in Lynnee’s recipe is that I left out the sugar.

Uhm, YUM. But grassfed butter? I don’t comprehend such a label. Help!

Look for Kerrygold. Most stores will have that – a lot of times it’s randomly in the deli section, though. Grassfed isn’t required but it’s definitely better for you + tastes delicious.

I think they sell Kerrygold at Trader Joe’s. Not sure about the bigger grocery stores or Target or Walmart though.

This sounds so good. Bulletproof coffee always scares me but somehow butter with a spicy chai seems to fit. Must try!

This sounds like an interesting drink. I have not thought of mixing the chai spices with coffee. I am going to try this soon.
