:coach: Git-cher Chai Lah-tay! Git-cher Chai Lah-tay!

Chai is becoming very popular in the U.S., especially on the West Coast where it is served c-c-cold like a granita or steamy hot.

:scratchhead: Huh? What in the world is this Chai Latte stuff you might be thinking? :huh:

Legend has it that Chai was invented by a royal King in the ancient courts of Siam and India.

Chai is the beverage of choice in Northern India; it is a milky sweetened tea with a delightful rich aroma. It is sweet, spicy, and very soothing and often sold in tiny tea stalls that line the streets where all day long “chaiwallas” (tea vendors) brew and serve tea. Chai tea is sold all over Southern Asia in trains, at bus stations, or where ever crowds gather.

While the Chai is boiled with milk, it is constantly stirred and poured by ladleful through the air and is usually offered to every visitor to a home.

Some modern Chai Tea is made with green tea but traditional Indian Chai uses a rich black tea that is boiled in milk and flavored with local spices such as sweet cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and occasionally black peppercorns, ginger and hot chilies.

It is then sweetened with sugar. This spicy Chai tea is brewed in a samovar-type vessel and is always served very hot. :runner: Hurried customers often pour a little Chai in the saucer to cool it before slurping.

Yep, this month Take Shape for Life is offering Medifast Chai Latte at a special saving - $1.42 a cup. Our Chai Latte is rich in calcium and Vitamin D and each cup has only 100 calories. The whey-based Chai Latte is on sale for $10 bucks a box of 7 packets!

This smells wonderful; just preparing a serving of the decaffeinated Chai Tea Latte with cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger and its other exotic spices will make you feel like you are on a train to Marrakesh!

Of course it has 14 grams of protein, less than a gram of flab (err, fat),
the 24 essential vitamins and amino acids you need to make a complete meal - all this at a special price.

Chai Latte ~ regularly priced at $12.65 per box (7 servings/box) now while supplies last, Ten bucks a box…I :heart: love this stuff. I have a steamy shaker jarful at bedtime. I sure wish TSFL would create a Leopard Woman China Shaker Jar so I can slurp my Chai in style…

The spices remain at the bottom of the cup so don't worry about the grainy feeling at the end of the drink. :secret: The dregs are really quite good.

On a porch swing, on a chaise lounge or a patio near you…Medifast Chai Latte casts a :git: magic spell.

Oh, it is sumptuous and exuberant, it radiates mysticism, enchantment, splendour, take me to the Kasbah…
:pigsfly:

While supplies last...
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels...
