I made a half recipe and lightened the milk and sugar (Splenda for me) amount for a lovely cup of Chai that I enjoyed a lot. -
I wanted to like this version because it was a quick and easy recipe. I just couldn't taste the spice in the way that I like. I tried a second cup with honey instead of sugar thinking that I might have overpowered the spice with sugar, but it was still lacking something. Thanks for the recipe.

Spicy and warm. I don't usually add sugar to my tea, but the sugar brings out the spicy flavour. Made for ZWT 6 -

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
