Afternoons always call for something salty or something sweet – but always something. As of late, I’ve been on a sweet kick and as much as I love a good soy chai tea latte, I’ve got a close contender that is much lower in sugar, calories and $$. Is it exactly the same? Of course not, but you can have this every day!
- 1/4 packet of NuNaturals Stevia (to preference)
- 2 Tbsp coconut creamer
- 1 Celestial Seasonings Vanilla Ginger Green Tea Chai bag
- 1 Tazo Organic Chai tea bag
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Combine all ingredients for that perfect afternoon tea break.
i love tea. in fact i am almost out. i will have to pick up what you mention here!
I have never thought about mixing flavors but I am come up with some interesting combos.
Today’s tea is Tahitian Vanilla Hazlenut 🙂
I love mixing my tea bags!! It brings out some great flavors!
i just made something similar the other day and loved it! haven’t thought of mixing flavors tho.
i am floored at how much money some people spend on their coffee drinks at my time at the coffee shop. there is a woman who regularly gets at $5.50 drink. that is $22.00 a week. yikes!
Same here!!! It is so ridiculous, a girl here sometimes gets 2 per day! So much money….

Thanks for sharing! Looks like a great recipe!
thank you, emily! soy chai lattes are my favorite, and i would love to have a guilt-free substitution. someone recently suggested buying an inexpensive milk frother from ikea. i know it won’t be anything like the coffee shop frothing action, but if it saves me $4.20/day, it’s worth a try! can’t wait to give this a whirl.
I would get a frother for sure!! I’ve been making this at work so I don’t use it, but they are awesome and definitely make any drink feel like it came from the coffee shop!

that sounds delicious! I need a sweet treat like this in my life. I have way too many snacks that make me feel guilty!
Coconut Creamer sounds amazing! I have never heard of that. Where do you purchase that at?
It is my favorite! I’ve seen it coops and whole foods.

Can you make me one of these? I could go for this right now!
My office has that green tea and in the winter time I loved it! I rarely drink tea in the spring or summer though – just my coffee!
Tea needs to be making more cameos in my life!
coconut creamer…mmmm….
Love Chai tea! i’ve been craving something sweet– I should turn to tea!!
I am tea illiterate. That’s why I stick to coffee. 🙂 BUT I’m the same way about needing something sweet in the afternoon. Usually fruit.
