Moneysaver: Chai Tea at Home

While nothing can replace the conversation and pampering feeling of treating yourself to a drink at a coffee shop, your wallet can feel a pinch in a hurry when you indulge too much (not to mention your waist in your jeans from all of the Vitamin D milk and fancy syrups.)  Below you will find a recipe for an easy spiced tea that makes you the creator, leaving the kind of milk (I substitute skim) and amount of spice in your hands!
