About this recipe:
A lot of the times when you get chai tea from a coffee shop it is loaded with sugars and all kinds of flavorings that you don't even know about. You can only really know what is inside if you make it yourself. Its easy, just get organic ingredients at your health food store and mix at home. This recipe is without the black tea so its completely caffeine free.
