    Mmmm.... I love chai tea. I've been thinking of a way to make it and not spend big bucks at Starbucks or on the Boathouse Farms soy version... Thanks!:wink:

    Yeah, I'm a chai tea freak, too.

    A whole teaspoon of vanilla? Extract? Wow. I guess the splenda is enough to counteract the bitterness.
    How many ounces of water are you using?

    Yeah, and this has got to be better for me than the Tazo concentrate I usually use.
    Thanks!

    I've heard the concentrate in boxes is actually pretty good for calories. But tea bag is definitely better, and also I have heard Unsweetened almond breeze works really well in replace of the milk, you can use more for less calories!

    I found a box of of green chai tea in the supermarket and it tastes almost the same (if you can get over the light color). I was so excited because green tea is supposed to be very beneficial for those trying to loose weight and I absolutely hate the taste! I just put it in a single cup with boiling water, a packet of splenda and a dash of skim milk. Yummy!
