      Did you know that "chai" means tea?

      Iced tea tea latte concentrate.

      Maybe educate yourself a tiny bit before culturally appropriating stuff from other cultures.

        Hi Franz. I did know that chai means tea and wrestled with the name of this blog post. I wasn't sure if everyone would know what chai means though, so ultimately I chose to put the word "tea" in the title. I thought going into the meaning of chai would actually be culturally appropriating so I didn't since this is a very Americanized version of a chai recipe. There's also the google algorithm that I have to serve to get posts seen at all. I wasn't sure if google would automatically categorize chai as tea either. Ultimately, I put a lot of thought into whether or not the word "tea" should go into this posts title knowing that likely someone wouldn't like it and I could get a comment exactly like this.
