This Skinny Vanilla Chai Tea recipe is a great way to warm up when the cooler weather strikes.
Fall is my favorite season.
I love the cooler weather, the gorgeous colors of the treetops and warm comfort foods. Oh, and turtlenecks. I love turtlenecks.
One of our favorite things to do in the Fall is go leaf-peeping. My husband gets the biggest coffee he can find, the little guy gets a hot chocolate and I get a big, fat Chai tea. Then, we hop in the car and road trip around (sometimes near and sometimes far) looking at all of the gorgeous leaves.

I love Chai tea almost as much as I love Fall. I love the warm, spicy flavors and the sweet creaminess. Yet for some reason, I’ve never tried to make Chai tea at home. Until now!
For as much as I love Chai tea, I wanted to cut the calories so I could enjoy as much as I like without worrying about the added sugar.
This recipe tastes just like the Chai tea I get at the fancy coffee house. I was amazed by just how easy it was to make at home. It’s nice to know that I don’t have to go out to get my favorite hot beverage.
I used Sweet’N Low® instead of sugar to sweeten this recipe. It’s a great alternative to sugar because it adds sweetness without the caloric guilt.
Sweet’N Low® is America’s favorite little pink packet. It’s made by a 3rd generation, family-owned company and the brand has been around for close to 60 years.
