Recipe: Homemade chai tea | fructose free, lactose free,

Uncategorized

11 Aug

Hey there bumblebees,

you might think “It is freakin´hot outside, why do I want to drink a tea?” The answer is: Cause hot drinks on hot days, cool your system down and chai tea tastes amazing! 🙂 I am not talking about the sugar and chemical mixture you get at most of the coffee shops. I am talking about a traditional and healthy spice tea. And also,chai tea tastes delicious cold.

Beside the good tastes it even benefits your body:

  • levels out your blood sugar (good for weightloss, but be carefull with sweeteners)
  • promotes digestion
  • anti-inflammatory
  • causes nice skin
