Here Is A Recipe For Creamy, Spicy, Iced Up Chai!!

Good Morning, and a beautiful morning it is at that! Sunshine and blue skies! I wanted to share with you that Willa from The Old Cupboard Door is having a giveaway for her really cute Ginger Gal...Today is the last day to sign up for it, so please be sure to visit Willa's blog..

I've been sitting here at the computer, asking myself, hmmm, what can I share with you all today on my blog? I pondered over this and I pondered over that, and then decided that I'd like to share a Chai cold drink recipe with you all.. It's called...


Chai..It. You'll Like It!

This is a creamy, spicy, iced-up Chai.. and soooo good!!

Ingredients:

2 Black Chai tea bags
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 tbsp. fat free non dairy powdered creamer (like the kind by Coffee mate)
1/8 tsp. vanilla extract
2 No calorie sweetner packets (like splenda or Truvia)
8-10 Ice cubes
Optional topping: Fat free Reddi-wip

Directions:

Place tea bags and cinnamon stick in a tall glass. Add 3/4 cup boiling water and steep for 15 minutes. (You want it strong so you can ice it down quickly)

Remove tea bags and cinnamon stick and discard. Add powdered creamer, vanilla extract, and sweetner, and stir until completely dissolved. Add 2 ice cubes and stir till they melt.

Add remaining ice and stir. If you like, top it off with a squirt of Reddi- wip.. Then...find a straw and start sipping!!

This will make 1 serving...

I hope you will like it as much as I do!!

My daughter, Michele and her friend Maggie had me try some Chai tea, and I've been hooked on it ever since!! My pantry always has at least 2 full boxes of Chai tea just waiting for me! I always like to have some of it ahead, don't want to ever run out, don't you just know!!

I hope you all have had a good week.. It sure has gone by fast though, hasn't it? I've had fun all week coming here and writing and sharing my blog with you..

Today, I've got a couple errands to run and then who knows?? Maybe have lunch out today with my hubby??(Our chinese food place that we love to eat at is calling my name!!) and then... Maybe do a little shopping afterwards?? I always like doing that too!! Anyhow, you all have a wonderful day and a really, really great weekend!!

Blessings,
~Lynn
