Rated 4 out of 5 by from unGuilty Pleasure I was introduced to chai tea at a popular coffee chain. I was enjoying the spicy hot beverage until I looked up the nutritional information. This recipe has a better nutritional value than the beverage from the popular coffee chain. I can truly enjoy my chai!
