Who doesn't love a chai... it's my go-to cozy winter drink! The warming blend of herbs and spices feel like comfort in a cup. 

There is science to why drinking chai makes us feel good too! Tea is a source of L-theanine, an amino acid that helps us feel calm and less stressed. The spices are antioxidant-rich and gut-healthy - which in turn can help reduce inflammation, and nourish our friendly gut bugs - which we also know play a big role in our mood and immune health.

Ginger has immune-supporting properties and star anise has anti-microbial, and anti-viral properties, making this the perfect winter beverage.

Here's my recipe so you can have a go at making it yourself at home! If you need to sweeten it, use honey or maple syrup, which is better for you than the sugar-loaded options you'll typically find in coffee shops.
