If there's one thing she's learned about chai, Sarah says, it's that " everybody

makes it a bit differently. This recipe is one that my husband, Ash, and I have

worked on for a while. Once you get the basics down it's fun to experiment. "

(Editor's note: Try it with full fat plain or vanilla soy milk for a vegan

version.)
