Sweet Vanilla Chai Tea

Sweet Vanilla Chai Tea

For those who like sweet drinks but don’t want to feel like your stomach just downed a gallon of bubbles here is a recipe for you.

1 Pot (gallon sized preferred)

Spicy Chai tea bag (big low brand is the one I use)

¼ cup of Vanilla Extract Imitation ( 1/8 cup of vanilla will be weaker but make the vanilla stretch out longer)

2 or 3 table spoons of sugar (depends on how sweet you want it)

Place the pot on high until the water is just about to boil or is boiling, and then add in the teabag, wrapping the string around the handle to make sure the tag doesn’t light on fire. Let the teabag sit in for two minutes before adding the ¼ cup of vanilla first follow by the 2 or 3 table spoons of sugar, stirring with the spoon once the sugar is added. The tea should have a strong vanilla smell and be a maroon red color.

End Price: Eight to ten dollars

Tea bags 20 pack: $3.20

Vanilla extract imitation 8oz: $3.50

Lasting Value

Per Pot: A day or so

Pots per ingredients: four pots with ¼ cup eight pots with 1/8 cup of vanilla.

Final comments: The vanilla extract is the most expensive ingredient, since for every eight pots you’ll need to get more, however you can experiment how much vanilla you want to use to either stretch out its worth, or control the sweetness. The drink is also great at helping sore or dry throats, though too much sugar will make you thirsty. Half a glass of this tea and a glass of water in separate glasses is a great way to fight a cold. Also a decent alternative to coffee, though less powerful.
