Chai Tea Latte

Submitted by Carambola

"Will need to adjust for personal taste. I was buying 1-2 starbucks chai tea lattes every day and quickly realized I was spending $100. - $200. on lattes every month. I read the ingredients from latte mixes and came up with this recipe. I like it best with brown sugar although it's also great with honey (and a little healthier) A bonus: I like this recipe MUCH better than a starbuck's chai tea latte!"

What a yummy tea drink. I used Splenda for the sugar (2 tsps) and did add the vanilla. The spice is very mild but it adds a lovely taste and fregrance. I think I'd give this 5 stars with less milk and more rea. :D
