At Christmas time I always order the Chai-egg. It’s a Chai tea latte made with eggnog instead of milk, but if you want it all eggnog, no water you have to say that. Otherwise they cut the eggnog with water. If the barista is extra good or nice they’ll ask if you want it all eggnog or cut with water.
Hi Nicole, that sounds delicious!
