Chai Latte Tea – Great Treat – Low Calorie – Great Mixer – Keurig Pods – How to Brew with No Electricity

During the Ice Storm, it occurred to me that since the creamer and the sweetener are already mixed in the pods, Chai Latte would be an excellent tea to help endure an electrical blackout.

i created a stove with Crisco candles for burners, and that is how I heated the water without electricity:

Since there was no electricity, I could not use the Keurig machine. Therefore, I lined the bottom of small strainer with a piece of paper towel, and I emptied the pod contents into the strainer.  When the water was hot, I slowly poured the water over the tea,

Now, that is how I solved the problems caused by the lack of electricity, After I drank the chai latte for several days, I came to like it. I had previously assumed that since the tea is sweet, it must be high in calories. The Keurig Chai Latte only has 60 calories per serving, That is because it is made with artificial sweeteners

The Ingredients of Chai Latte Tea:

Keurig café-style chai latte pods (notably Café Escapes) typically contain a sweetened powder mix rather than loose leaves. Main ingredients include sugar, hydrogenated coconut oil (creamer), nonfat dry milk, instant black tea, natural and artificial flavors, sodium caseinate, and spices. They are designed for 8 oz settings and contain milk. 
Key Ingredient Breakdown for Typical (Café Escapes) Pods:
  • Sweeteners & Base: Sugar, glucose syrup, and sucralose (Splenda).
  • Creamer: Hydrogenated coconut oil, sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), dipotassium phosphate, and sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate.
  • Flavor & Body: Nonfat dry milk, instant tea, natural and artificial flavors, modified tapioca starch, and salt.
  • Spices: Commonly includes cinnamon, clove, ginger, and cardamom

Because I had several bags of Twinings Green Tea in my kitchen, I began adding a bag of that in each cup I brewed.

Twinings green tea is considered good for you as it is a natural source of antioxidants (polyphenols) that help protect cells from damage and support heart health. It offers a hydrating, low-calorie beverage option that provides moderate caffeine for alertness and is rich in manganese” Google Ai
