 Posted: 11/27/02 - 14:14 Post subject: My latest obsession!
.....we met at Borders, almost a year ago.....that combination of smooth, yet a little spicy just blew me away....then we parted, but the memories remained.....then, mysteriously, while at work one day, we met again.....at the coffee bar.....and the obsession resumed......
That's CHAI, baby!! I LOVE this stuff!! I just found out that Lipton makes an instant version that is almost as good as the original. A little sugar, a little fat free creamer, and voila! A chai latte sure to knock your socks off!
Any fellow addicts out there?

It's good stuff. The wife loves it as well. The instant stuff is ok, but you can't beat the real stuff at a coffee shop, G.

No, this isn't one of those cheesy mixes, it's the actual teabags with the chai and spice in them, so you can steep it like regular tea and then sweeten and cream accordingly. Very tasty. I've tried the mixes and they are yuck.

I adore this drink. Every time I take the first sip, the words "blessed elixir" ring in my head. In the Weight Watchers world, it's 3 points, as much as a regular beer.

I also like a good Chai, but hearing that forces me to twist another cap!

I thought this post was gonna be about staring at all us guys beautiful mustache pics. 
As far as Chai goes, I've never had it.
Although I must agree with akern, it couldn't be better than poop coffee.
