We’ve started to get used to the heat of the day, despite the problems it sometimes causes. It has gotten to the point where I miss it once the sun goes down and the air cools. There is just something about the warmth that gets to my core and makes everything seem so much more vibrant.

Thankfully, there is another way to capture that heat when the sun goes down. Chipotle peppers and a cup of Masala Romance combine to make a spicy snack that keeps us warm through the night. The spices of the tea and the heat of the pepper made a delicious pairing that left our lips and tongues tingling.

We loved this snack pairing, and I think it makes a great treat for cooler nights. I recommend having the chipotle on club crackers to keep the spice from becoming overwhelming. I would also advise that you use a smaller piece of chipotle than we did; while delicious, the pepper packs a punch!
