I usually make chai about 50% milk or so - I add honey & cinammon and cardamon on top of whatever is already in the tea bag. and I let it steep a long time. I'm using yogi tea's chai black currently.

This is my favorite chai: http://nottinghall.com/pumpkinspice.htm
It just so happens to be pumpkin spice
Brew strong, and add lots of milk and sweetener.
Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...
I guess this isn't a 'low cal' drink with all the sweetener and milk. I'm going back to Meijers, they had Tazo and Oregon - the concentrate was more $$$ than the bags. I have never tried Soy Milk or Almond Milk. I've heard that soy milk tastes chaulky.

I use the "fresh" Silk brand soy milk - in the refrigerated section, not the shelf-stable kind, and I've never found it to be chalky at all. I usually use the Light variety, but just bought the bone health variety for well, variety!
I use the soy milk with the bags of Tazo Spiced Chai - I only sweeten on special occasions.

Stash makes some spicy, flavourful..and non-sugared Chai teas.

I also like a pronounced spicy Chai tea.
I've been drinking tea (orange pekoe, Twinings Earl Grey, etc. and other black teas) without sugar, with some milk, for the past 3 decades. I average about 3-4 c. of tea at home in this way.
I genuinely appreciate real Chai tea without the sugar, without honey. No need when cinnamon, cardamon, etc. are pronounced.

Steep your Chai bags per usual. But if you like "Coffeehouse Style Chai" try adding some honey and warm milk to the mix. That is all you need really. Or support your local coffeehouse and get your Chai there.Baristas need love too. Well, at least general like and occasional patronage. Good luck.
