Starbucks Chai

So, I tried Starbucks Chai today. I'd never had it before, so last time I was at a Starbucks, I asked about it. Turns out it's some sort of spiced black tea, and Starbucks makes it with a milk base. Sounded good, so today, on the recommendation of my wife, I tried it.

I've got to say, there's good and bad about it. On the plus side, it's got a great taste. To me, it tastes like a liquid pumpkin pie. Which, in my world, is a good thing. On the minus side, there's no way I could recreate this. They use a syrup, rather than brewing it. Bummer...

Update: My friend, Piglet, tells me that I could get the syrup from practically any neighboring Starbucks. D'oh!
