Who knows a good brand of sugar free or unsweetened chai?  I need a hot evening drink and I like chai made with skim milk but cant' seem to find any without too much sugar or sweetener.    diane

Hey Diane,

I assume you're willing to brew it, yes? Trader Joe's has a very good spiced chai tea - just the tea and spices. Not sure where you are looking, but most of the more trendy/health oriented stores around here carry several brands of chai tea. If you don't have a Trader Joe's nearby, let me know. I can always pick some up and pop it in the USPS for you. We terrier people need to watch out for each other, you know?!

I can find this in the local grocery store or on Amazon. Combine it with flax milk and the whole cup of delcious is 25 cals!

I love love love Stash chai tea bags. Tastes closest to chai my Indian friends make.

I just found a really good Chai Spice tea called Stash & I found it at Safeway Grocery store.  Bigelow has a Vanilla Chai thats pretty good too.  I add a touch of sugar free Italian Sweet Creamer for the creamy and sweet taste.

In the summer, when it's hot out, I love chai spice iced tea; in fact, try other flavored teas iced-they are wonderful! Best hot chai spice, in my book, is Stash...

I've been making my own and absolutely love it. I adapted this recipe and left out the sugar. I use Stevia and skim milk. It is wonderful. I ordered my spices from Amazon. It is soooo much cheaper than buying spices at the grocery store.

Brand....Oregon Chai makes a sugar free one that is really good.  I get it at Walmart but have also found it at Trader Joes and the grocery store.

I have to agree with Laurie. The SF Oregon Chai seems to be the best I have found. I like that you add your own milk so one container lasts me a while since I do a 1/3 chai to 2/3 skim milk.
