Chai Latte

Sugar-free version: 8oz boiling water, 2 chai tea bags, 1 TBSP sugar-free vanilla syrup, ¼ tsp cinnamon, ¼ cup milk of choice (I use unsweetened almond milk) heated.   Sweetened version: ½ cup Tazo chai syrup, ½ cup milk of choice. Both versions can be mixed in a blender or frothed using an electric frother (I prefer this method).
