How to Make Chai Tea Mix (for delicious Chai Tea Latte)

A recent project on which I spent many hours required the production of many gallons of Chai Tea Latté Mix; After enjoying a few cups of this extremely tasteful drink, I thought I'd post the recipe I used here, as well as a few notes for the mixing directions which will help point you in the right direction.

(You probably won't need quite this quantity of ingredients. Not pictured: the dry milk powder.)

The key to the mix is to make it really, really smooth. After you've finished mixing the chai in the food processor, you'll be rewarded with a very beautiful fragrance—you can almost breathe in the caffeine and sugar! One of the nicest things about homemade chai mix is that you can store it for quite some time, and it will still taste amazing.

Summary: 
Solid performers for those wanting a bass-heavy aural experience and good isolation. The headphones can bring new life to some songs, but are often overbearing for those with sensitive ears.

Finding a good pair of headphones can be an lifelong vocation. In my short lifespan, I've probably given a good chance to about twelve different pairs, from earbuds to large cans used in professional/studio environments.

How to Make a Crêpe, then How to Enjoy a Crêpe

A crêpe is a very thin form of a pancake. Crêpes can be made either 'savory' or sweet (basically, sweet crêpes are savory crêpes with sugar and (optionally) a little liquor). Instead of syrup, Crêpes are usually served with different kinds of spreads and/or fruits, veggies, or meats inside.

Mmmm... Tasty!

Summary: 
Are you OCD about your soap dispenser? Are you lazy? Do you like having all of life's conveniences? This is definitely the soap dispenser for you! The only thing holding me back from recommending it to everyone? The price.

Isn't it beautiful?

Soap. It's something that all human societies have a need for. There are thousands of ways you can transfer soap to your body, though. Many people have these crazy blocks of soap with which they can make some suds to clean their hands and bodies. Others use a new form of soap—so-called "liquid" soap, which is a little easier to transport and apply. Of course, both types of soap have advantages and drawbacks.

But as technology has progressed, hand soap has become increasingly convenient to store in liquid form. As a testament to liquid hand soap's strides in acceptance in human society, as well as the American ethic of laziness and convenience in all things, Simplehuman has designed a soap dispenserwhich requires so little effort to use that even an unsuspecting animal could figure out how to get soap out of the thing.
