Notes
- For a caffeine-free version, use Robious Chai. I like Numi Robius Chai, which I purchase from my local grocery store. It is also available online.
- The emersion blender is my favorite way to achieve the beautiful foam on top of this latte. I find it works better than the milk frother and hand blender.
- For another fall recipe, check out my Cranberry Pumpkin Bread recipe at ChristieKelemen.com/blog.
