chocolate icecream

It’s been a while since I had my last coffee. And by a while, I mean almost six years. Six long, dry years. Sure, I’ve had the occasional sip – a mixed up order where the C for chai was translated as a C for cappucino, but nothing substantial, and certainly nothing intentional.
The upside of it all comes in the form of better sleeping patterns, fewer stomach problems and headaches that don’t immobilize me like the used to… but the downside. Oh! The Downside!

Remember the days when the only viable option for a weight conscious, coffee-avoiding, dairy intolerant girl around coffee time was a bag of ground up vegetation dumped unceremoniously into a cup of hot water for $3.50? Well, that, or a soy babycino?

Worse still was the problem of finding an instant coffee substitute. Yes, tea in a bag was adept at warming the hands and providing a person with something to sip on, but I drink mine black-no-sugar, and it lacks a certain fragrant warmth that only coffee has.
Milo, ovaltine and horlicks were in short supply, and made me feel like bedtime.
It seemed all would be lost when I found chai.
