Chai Latte

Sugar-free version: 8oz boiling water, 2 chai tea bags, 1 TBSP sugar-free vanilla syrup, ¼ tsp cinnamon, ¼ cup milk of choice (I use unsweetened almond milk) heated.   Sweetened version: ½ cup Tazo chai syrup, ½ cup milk of choice. Both versions can be mixed in a blender or frothed using an electric frother (I prefer this method).

I have owned many blenders in my almost 5 decades of being alive and this one is hands down my favorite. It blends everything perfectly and lasts forever. I've had mine for years and it still works like new.
