Author Notes
I absolutely love tea, especially chai tea. So, when I came across this coconut chai tea at World Market I knew I just had to try it! Coconut and chai...two of my favorite things come together in a subtly sweet and fluffy, warm, homey, and delicious pancake. They are also paleo and gluten-free so all can enjoy. I suggest topping with your favorite preserves, a drizzle of homemade coconut butter, maple syrup, or butter! —misschels
