Chai Tea

Chai Tea is big in my house, but it uses sugar and milk. So I decided to try and tweak a few ingredients to make it better for my husband and me. We use tea granules that we get at the local Indian store, but you can find them in almost any store; just make sure they are not instant tea granules before purchasing them.

Ingredients:

2 cups water

1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

1 tbsp tea granules

1/2 cup almond milk

4-6 packets Stevia

In a medium pot combine water and ginger, and bring to a boil.  Once boiling add the tea granules.  Continue to boil the mixture for 10-15 min, but be careful not to let it overflow.  Lastly, add almond milk and Stevia to the tea to taste. Pour into cups using a strainer, and  enjoy your healthy Indian ginger Chai Tea!!

Blend until smooth and all the ice is gone. Enjoy!!
