Chai Tea Latte Recipe??

Beatrix0810

So I am IN LOVE with these dumb lattes, but I know they're really high in empty calories (they're also not cheap, even if you buy the ready-made consentrate). Does anyone out there have a good low-cal, low-sugar, or otherwise healthier chai tea latte recipe? I'd love to hear it, if you do :-)

This sounds awesome, thanks for the reply! I'm sure others will be glad to have this. I should have mentioned, however, that I can't have any artificial sweeteners (like sugar free syrups or sweet-n-low) because I have migraine issues and those are a huge trigger for me (unfortunately). That's why I'm looking for alternative recipes. I also can't drink red wine anymore which REALLY bums me out!

I make mine in the Crockpot. Combine 8 black tea bags, 8 cups water, approximately 1.5 inches of sliced, peeled fresh ginger root, 5 cinnamon sticks, and 16 whole cloves in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 2 hours. Strain and allow to cool before refrigerating. Lasts about 1 week in the refrigerator. Can be served hot or cold. I drink mine cold and measure out equal parts chai and skim milk, and I add 2 packs of Stevia. Mmm...
