I'm A Genius

The past few days I've been pretending to be sick. Pretending so well, in fact that I've been coughing and sneezing so much my chest hurts, and even run a fever. Yeah, I pretend that well.

So last night I was getting cabin fever so bad I was climbing the walls. I said to myself, "Self, Let's get ourselves something warm to drink."

Of course, I ended up going to church. The Church of St. Arbucks, to be exact.

I'm a huge coffee drinker, no surprise there, but I knew better than to have some this time. And honestly, as much as I like tea, I'm NOT a fan of Chai. But I had an idea.

It took them longer to figure out how to ring it up than make it, and it turned out MUCH better than expected. I'm totally going to make this an usual coffee alt.

So here's what I ordered.

Earl Gray Latte
Tell them to overbrew half a medium cup with 2 Earl Gray teabags.
Then proceed the same way they would make a Chai latte.

It was good. Damn good.

So if you're ever at the St. Arbucks on Anderson Lane in Austin, and some hipster barista in a ponytail and goatee offers to make you a "special" creation, you know where he got the idea.

I'm a genius.

It's ok. Everyone knows.
