BAKED CHAI LATTE DOUGHNUTS AND VANILLA BEAN ICING
Hey Steemians! Time to rise and shine because it is donut time! And furthermore, help me celebrate my third week anniversary on Steemit!
I hope you are in the mood for some doughnuts (or is it donuts? what’s the difference?)! Ha! I say that like it’s possible to not be in the mood for a doughnut. What a ridiculous notion. The weather has been pretty cool and rainy recently and I’ve been on a tea kick. Chai tea. The entire first year we have lived here in Chile I was never able to find chai at the stores (sad face). I know it can be made at home but I’m the only one in my family who likes to drink it and I hate making things specifically for me so I’ve just never gotten around to it. That’s why I was so excited the other day when my Mom found some. I’ve been drinking it on chilly mornings and enjoying every sip. So I think it’s obvious where the inspiration for these doughnuts came from. I know I just said that no one in my house likes chai but what I should have said was that no one like chai tea. Now chai doughnuts are a totally different matter. I mean, come on, doughnuts!Enough said. The kids thought they tasted like pumpkin spice, which they are very similar. I used chai spices and black tea rather than using actual chai because I’m rationing my chai. That’s the thing about finding a new product here in Chile. You may never see it again so don’t get too attached. Anyway, these doughnuts are so good! Even if you aren’t a huge fan of chai I think you’d still like them because the flavors are more mild in doughnut form and when you top these with that sweet vanilla bean icing…….mmmmmmm! It’s Friday and Friday needs doughnuts. What do you say? I say let’s do it!

She has a great eye, she needs a real camera.) Yesterday, I made note of Venezuela. Later today, I'll be talking with one of my friends, he is actually a friend and my Spanish teacher. In a later post, I'll talk about learning Spanish. Also, I'll post an update on yesterday's events in Venezuela. Que tengas un buen dia! One more photo, I can't help myself. Can you have too many photos in a post? Really?! I'd really like to hear your opinion. This is of my backyard. In a later post, I'll give more detail. Enjoy
