I love chai…but not the calories

Chai_1 Chai is wonderful yet it’s full of calories from the sugar and milk. So what to do when you’re watching your diet?

Here’s the best solution I’ve been able to come up with:

Super Skinny Chai

In an oversized mug, place the following ingredients:

One bag of Celestial Seasonings Honey Vanilla Chai White Tea (You can purchase this online at Amazon.com for $15 for six boxes of 20 tea bags each. At $2.50 a box, this is a good price compared to what you pay at the grocery store.)
To taste, sweeten with Torani Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup 750mL (At $7.90 on Amazon.com, this is another great bargain. I pay more for a bottle of this at Cost Plus World Market, especially considering the cost of gas and tax and the 40 minute round trip drive.)
1 cup skim milk
1 cup water

Heat in a microwave until hot (1-2 minutes).
Stir and enjoy.

To me, this is just as sweet and yummy as the premade chai tea drinks, plus the only calories you get are from the skim milk. It’s much cheaper to make it this way, too.
