Powdered chai--just Oregon chai instant mix, which I've never once noticed or acknowledged until the day I had a major chai craving (what is that even about?) and didn't have the time to go get a chai latte (nor anywhere nice to go get one around here, either) and so I picked up a box at the grocery store, and it actually tasted pretty good, though very very sweet (and it coincidentally satisfied an even weirder craving I had recently for General Foods International Coffee). I went through two boxes in just over a week. Moral of the (excessively long) story: it's a good substitute for a chai latte in a pinch, but not a good habit to take on (26 g. of sugar per packet).Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748454816480995214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-79468778924338941212015-01-20T14:58:30.825-05:002015-01-20T14:58:30.825-05:00I'll say!
