At Home Barista :: Vanilla Chai Tea Latte Recipe

Something about the crisp cool weather of fall makes me need a warm drink to get through the day.  I am not a very big coffee or tea drinker but once the weather starts changing I start becoming a holiday warm drink addict. 


A couple of reasons why I do not get my daily fix of Starbucks is because it costs money and I do not like to drink my calories.  So in order to fulfill my holiday warm drink need, I decided to try making my own low calorie drink at home. 



Vanilla Chai Tea Latte:

1. Steep chai tea bag in hot water

2. Add 40 calorie Almond Breeze {lowest calorie milk alternative out there}

3. Add a few pumps of sugar free vanilla Torani syrup

4. I also added a little Splenda so it was extra sweet and delicious!

5. Mix it all up and add ingredients to taste for a delicious cool weather drink!

And in case you were wondering, this is what I was wearing...a cute apron I won over at Fab Brunette...I felt very barista-ish...


And what I had on under my apron...clearance Coke shirt from Target, Old Soul Studios spoon tag necklace, VS Pink Skirt, J Crew headband, Polka Dot Bungalow camera strap...


And just so you can get an idea of how much I-L O V E Torani syrups...we recently just picked up some new flavors...black cherry, coconut, and pumpkin pie!  Yum...I put them in everything!  Smoothies, milkshakes, oatmeal, mocktails {like black cherry vanilla diet 7-up}, you name it!  We also have cool pumps like they do at the coffee shops {much easier than pouring}! 


I also store all my tea bags and hot cocoa packets in a little basket.  Whenever we have guests over it is super easy to just pull the basket out...already looks cute and welcomes guests to pick out their own drink.
