Current Caffeinated Obsession

The other day I stopped into a local coffee show and their special was the Iced Chai Latte. It sounded good, I went for it, and was reminded how delicious they are. So I went home and made my own.. of courseĀ ;-)

You can buy the Chai Tea concentrates, but I’ve found that they often have a lot of extra nonsense added, are sweetened and higher in calorie. So instead, I just use standard Chai Tea bags, double the strength (~2 bags per 12 oz), and let it chill in the fridge overnight (I leave the tea bags in).

Iced Chai Tea Latte

8 oz Ice Chai Tea

2 oz Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

1-2 tbsp Sugar-Free Vanilla Syrup

Stevia to taste

Or you can get crazy (& more caffeinated) and make what many cafes call a Dirty Sexy Chai by adding a shot of Espresso or using equal parts Iced Coffee, Iced Chai and Almond Milk.

Summer beverage loveĀ :cool:

I’m catching up on blog writing & reading.. back with a regular post tonight!

    I love chai tea too! Yum! Oh, and I was in heaven at Smart and Final.. ended up with 2 sugar free peanut butter syrups. Stuck my finger in it tonight and it tastes like butterfinger! Now I wish I got more! What's your favorite flavors?

    That looks SO good – love the idea of adding expresso for extra caffeine, too!

    there is nothing more overpriced than coffee-shop lattes and ice beverages are the worst bc they are half ice and i can suck those babies down in 2 secs, no joke! i always make my own ice coffees. and funny, once about 3-4 mos ago i made an ice coffee w/ protein and posted it and thought of you b/c i know you enjoy both coffee + prot powders! :)
