Metabolic Research Center - Chai Tea....my guilty pleasure :)

I just made the spiced chai tea and added the vanilla creme pudding to it like the cookbook says...and it was delicious!! Before I was OP with MRC, I would go to Starbucks every morning for a Venti Chai Tea Latte, and so I was feeling pretty deprived that I could no longer have it, but after tasting this...I feel like this could be my reward at the end of the day after eating so well :)

out of curiosity..im on south beach..whats the recipe? or how do i find it? cause i too am a chai tea addict..

I'm not sure what you can and can't have on the south beach diet, but this is OP for MRC...

Chai Tea Syrup recipe:

16 bags decaf black tea...
2 3-inch sticks of cinnamon.
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. whole cloves
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
4 cups water
1/2 cup splenda

Put all the ingredients in a spice bag or you can use a coffee filter and just tie it off. Add the spice bag to the water and bring to a rolling boil. Then add the splenda and the tea bags. Let steep 5 minutes.

Then you can add like a vanilla protein drink, which is what I did...I'm not sure if you can have milk on the South Beach Diet...but it tastes almost as good as Starbucks!

Thanks for posting the recipe - sounds yummy. Definitely going to try once I am off pre-conditioning!!
