I love to drink this in the morning on cold days. I changed up this recipe with Stevia instead of sugar. It tastes great with much less calories and sugar. Use the conversion chart on the Stevia package to replace the sugar.

How To Make chia tea mix

    Stir in ginger, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom.

    You can spice it up even further by adding 1 teaspoon nutmeg and allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. I sometimes double some of my favorite spices to give it even more flavor.

    You may choose to omit the French vanilla creamer, and use 2 teaspoons vanilla extract instead. To do so, mix the vanilla into the sugar, let it dry, then break the sugar into small lumps. Follow the same procedure as above.
