iced chai tea latte
I'll admit I was sucked into buying the International Delight carton of Chai Tea Latte at the grocery. It's yummy, and I saved it for an occasional treat for its 130 calories. But today, I tried a Hungry Girl copy-cat recipe for less than half the calories. I was skeptical, but it was almost identical. I used a vanilla powdered creamer so mine was 60 calories instead of her 40. If you are sensitive to sweetener, you could even slip in a real sugar packet for 15 calories and still come out ahead. And no long lines at Starbucks!
Ingredients:
2 black chai tea bags
1 cinnamon stick
1 tbsp. fat-free non-dairy powdered creamer (like the kind by Coffee-mate)
1/8 tsp. vanilla extract
2 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda or Truvia)
8 - 10 ice cubes
Optional topping: Fat-Free Reddi-wip
Directions:
Place tea bags and cinnamon stick in a tall glass. Add 3/4 cup boiling water and steep for 15 minutes. (You want it strong so you can ice it down quickly.)
Remove tea bags and cinnamon stick and discard. Add powdered creamer, vanilla extract, and sweetener, and stir until completely dissolved. Add 2 ice cubes and stir until they melt.
Add remaining ice and stir. If you like, top it off with a squirt of Reddi-wip. Now find a straw and start sipping!
