If you know me, you know that I love tea. I like tea hot and I like it cold. Either way, I like it most with milk. Chai is my tea of choice and I used to get an Iced Chai from Starbucks a couple of times a week. Since starting Keto, I knew that I would have to stop that habit. Starbucks uses a Chai concentrate (Tazo) that is loaded with sugar and carbs. No Bueno.
So I figured out a new way to make my iced chai at home. Enter in the ingredients.
Archer Farms Chai Latte Black Tea Concentrate - Purchased at Target. You can find it near the coffee.
So Delicious Cashew Milk Unsweetened Vanilla - Purchased at Dillons. You can find it near the shelf-stable milk alternatives such as Almond Milk and Soy Milk.
The mixture is 1:1 so very simple to combine and stir together. The chai is sweet but not overly so.
I had never tried Cashew Milk before. I used to be a Soy Milk person but it had too many carbs so I moved to Almond Milk for awhile. When I tried Cashew Milk (I think at the recommendation of my sister), I was much happier. I like both the unsweetened plain and the unsweetened vanilla. Low carb and good for me.
I still drink hot tea as well. My favorite tea is from David's Tea which I have to order online. One of the best chai teas I have ever tried. (They are actually having a clearance sale so check them out if you like tea!) Instead of Cashew Milk in my hot tea, I usually had a splash of heavy whipping cream to the tea.
And lastly, I am completely obsessed with iced tea. I drink iced tea every day, all day. My favorite is Diet Gold Peak Tea. It uses a keto-friendly sweetener and keeps me from drinking diet soda all day.
