Why make loaded tea while camping? Because it’s the perfect way to warm up after a chilly night sleeping on the hard ground. Plus, nothing screams “roughin’ it” like sipping on a fancy, loaded tea while sitting around the campfire. And let’s not forget that nothing makes you feel more like a true outdoorsman than whipping up a homemade chai recipe using only foraged ingredients and a camp stove. Plus, who wouldn’t want to show off their backcountry barista skills to all their camping buddies?
