I had a sip of a real Chai latte when I was in college and have fantasized about them throughout the years. It was just a lovely pumpkin pie spice flavor with so many yummy memories. Silly really, I had a sip and that was it. I don't drink tea, as in black, white, green. I do drink herbal tea. I mentioned to my friend Leah that I wanted something like a Chai Tea (traditionally a black tea with spices) and she said I should try Roobios (pronounced Roy boss) Tea. Roobios is a African herbal tea. Recently I looked up how to make a Chai Latte and decided to use the basic idea and create a Red Chai Latte with the Roobios tea. My ingredients include Trader Joe's brand Roobios Tea packets, hot water, sugar, and homemade whipped cream.
Ingredients for this recipe are: 1 cup hot water (I used an electric kettle), two Roobios Tea Bags (Trader Joe's), 1 tablespoon sugar (I used turbinado sugar), and 3 tablespoons of whipped
cream (homemade).
cream (homemade).
I steeped my two tea bags in hot water for three minutes, then I pressed them against the side
of the cup using a spoon to get all the good stuff out.

Stir it together, and sip to your hearts content. This really is a wonderful substitute for that
