POOR MAN’S CHAI TEA LATTE..

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I’ve given up coffee, not caffeine, coffee!  A cup of green tea or chai tea amounts to half the caffeine of a cup of coffee.  I drink mostly green tea but I’ve started drinking chai tea lattes.  I think I’ve given up one addiction up for another because I have grown to love chai tea lattes.  However, going through the drive-through at Starbucks or Tim Hortons starts to cost me some bucks.  So here is my version of a latte:

Chai tea teabag

Milk – enough for a cup

Use either a blender or the bullet and froth the milk for a few seconds.

Put the tea bags and the frothed milk in a saucepan and heat over medium heat.

Bring to a boil (watch that the milk doesn’t burn or froth over the sides).

Pour into cups and spoon the frothed milk on top.

Voila – much cheaper than Starbucks and really good….

Note: I make it with skim milk..
