I’ve always loved chai tea, but that just shows how naive I am. The word “chai” actually means tea, so “chai tea” just means “tea tea.” How silly is that? Luckily, my good friend Anisha taught me how to make real, authentic chai, and it’s so delicious. We didn’t add cannabis this time, but you can easily make your tea infused by adding cannabis infused milk, or some pre-made canna-butter or coconut oil.
