A co-worker who lives close to Starbucks used to bring me treats. Everything she brought was good but no Starbucks nearby and no desire to drive across town meant I had to create my own. What follows is my version to make a whole pitcher of Chai Green Tea Latte for less $$$ (and calories!) than Starbucks.
Chai Green Tea Latte
Use the following tea bag mix:
2 plain green tea
4 Stash Green Chai Tea
1 Tazo Calm Tea
Boil 5 cups of water. Let tea steep for 6 minutes
While tea steeps put 1 cup of water in a pitcher with 1/3 c of sugar.
When the tea is ready, add it to the sugar water in the pitcher.
Put 2 cups of skim milk in pan and steam over low heat until small bubbles form at the edges of the pan. Add milk to pitcher. Stir. It can be served warm or cold
As written an 8 oz serving has 56 calories, 32.5 mg sodium and 11.2 grams of sugar. In time I’d like to cut the sugar back but for now this is pretty good!
***Starbucks Chai Tea Latte Soy Tall has 190 calories, 70mg sodium and 35 grams of sugar
***Starbucks Nonfat Chai Tea Latte Grande has 200 calories, 125 mg sodium and 42 grams of sugar
