Any chai drinkers here?

I have been drinking Oregon Chai for a couple of years. I tried Big Train Chai yesterday and fell in love with it, it makes Oregon Chai seem watered-down. Anyone who likes drinking chai really needs to try Big Train Chai. Amazon has it at a good price.

Does green tea with honey count?

It does in my book, tea is tea

Sorry, should have explained it:

Chai:
A beverage made with black teas, steamed milk and sweet spices based loosely on Indian recipes.

It tastes a bit like pumpkin, it's sweet and creamy. Best tea I've ever had.

Well I'm an avid tea drinker. However, it's almost always iced. This sounds like a hot tea mixture, correct?

Chai is one of those teas that is delicious either way. Though I prefer it hot, I have a friend who won't drink it unless it's iced.

I'll give it a whirl this weekend and let you know what I think. What "sweet spices" do you recommend I use?

I love chai tea and coffee. Can't drink it all the time but good for a change now and then.

Here in Aus, you can buy Chai tea in tea bags. Just use like a normal tea bag. The brand I use is Lipton.

Chai already has the spices in it, all you have to do is add milk - or ask for a chai tea latte from a coffee shop and it'll be ready to drink.

I go as far as a Chai Latte. A bit of cinnamon to top it off. Adam's Peak or some Hawaiian Oolong and a bit of Latte in place of milk and oh my jesus.....
