Hot or Iced Coffee House Latte

Some like it hot. Some like it cold. Many of us like it either way depending on mood, time of day or what the weather sends our way. This Coffee House Latte Mix is super easy to put together and is versatile enough for hot service or as an icy blended coffee. Make a large batch to keep for yourself and gift to a friend or neighbor.

Chai Latte

When I go to the bookstore my first stop is the little coffee shop in back. My hot beverage of choice is almost always a Chai Latte. The only exception is when the seasonal Pumpkin Latte makes its way to the menu board. While my preference is still browsing the bookstore with a great Chai Latte in hand, now I can whip up a quick cup of this delicious brew right at home.
