Chai

Hi fellow foodies,

Since it is snowing up a storm at this moment, here is a little treat for your afternoon! I love chai, but the prepared chai mixes are too high in sugar for me! Here's how I make a sugar-free version.

Steep a chai tea bag (I prefer Stash brand, decaf is fine) in boiling water for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, scald 2-4 T. of milk in the microwave (30 seconds or so). When tea is done steeping, remove bag, add any sweetener you want to use, stir in the scalded milk and whisk until blended and slightly foamy. This is a soothing and spicy!

  2. You can also gently heat the milk and brew the tea directly in that if you like a nice rich treat :)
