If you are looking for a nice afternoon day trip with a foodie touch in the SF Bay Area hop in your car and head towards Santa Cruz but don’t go all the way to Santa Cruz. You are going to exit in Scotts Valley at Mt. Hermon Road and drive towards Felton for your first stops.
San Francisco Bay Area Day Trip:
•This is an all-ages day trip folks! So bring the fam or your friends along for the ride!
1st Stop: White Raven Coffee & Tea House in Felton for a cup of their Famous Larry’s Favorite Chai Tea!
- They use vanilla soy milk to create their masterpiece. Make sure you stir it constantly to limit the scalding as it heats to 160-180F but do not let it boil. Also make sure you let your tea bag drip and press the rest of the liquid out after it steeps for 5 minutes to get all of the great flavors. For Iced Chai brew it hot with vanilla soy milk and then let it cool down before you put it in the fridge. Watch this Larry’s Favorite Chai Brewing Video.
- Iced Chai Mocha – add a scoop of Ghirardelli chocolate cocoa powder and stir. They will make it for you at White Raven and it is a really nice combination of spices.
- Cinnamon Chai Pudding Recipe – from Kellie’s Belly – would be great with this Chai Tea blend.
2nd Stop: Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park
3rd Stop: The Mystery Spot
