Quoth wordgirl View Post...Chai means "spiced tea."...“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

Quoth ladyjaneinmd View PostI have a cold brew maker at home, but it's the same strength as the coffee I make hot. It's easier on the stomach when I cold brew, though.
I've also heard that 8 cups of water to 1 pound of coffee is perfect for cold brew. I haven't tried making that much at once, though.

(speaking of which, am I the only one who gets irritated when I hear "chai tea?" It's chai. Chai means "spiced tea.")Customer service: More efficient than a Dementor's kiss

I knew you would know, Pixelated. (And Nunavut Pants is right, it just means "tea.")
One of my besties growing up was Indian, and so I liked chai decades before it was trendy
And yeah, Slave to the Phone, "PIN number" drives me nuts as well. So here's the one sentence calculated to drive me wholly insane:
"Give me your PIN number so I can get me some cash money and buy some chai tea and shrimps scampi."
(Bonus points if you work "nauseous" in there, even though us wordies have lost the war on that one.)

Also "I'm going to try and (do something)" instead of "try TO (do something)"

"Give me your PIN number so I can get me some cash money and buy some chai tea and shrimps scampi."
And yes, you've totally lost the war on "nauseous" The first three dictionaries in my quick search all listed "nauseated" or the equivalent as the first definition. At some point, usage wins.

I switched to making a concentrated cold brew. Better flavor, and its not nearly as acidic.
Its concentrate so I can just mix it with hot water for some hot coffee.
One day I had it cold, and forgot to add water when I put it in my thermos. I thought I could see forever.
