It's redundant. Chai is Indian tea - chai literally means tea. Just call it Tea Tea or Chai Chai - it's no different than saying Chai Tea.

And here in America, where we live, we call it Chai tea. Get over yourself.

This reminds me of the people that get all bent out of shape about "ATM Machine". You must have a hella easy life for this to be your thing.

There are also people, including many on DCUM, who wake up every morning hoping someone says “with au jus” or “high tea” when they mean “afternoon tea” so they can jump in and save the day. It’s pitiful, but if you read the newspaper for 10 seconds you can see there are far worse ways to spend your time.

I’ve never heard anyone refer to “naan bread” instead of “naan” though.

Haha me either. I have heard people say “challah bread” and that’s similarly enraging.

What is “fall” about that?

I’m assuming OP specified fall drink because they wanted something with some type of flavor.

In the United States, we call it chai tea. Just like naan bread.

I know not one person who says "naan bread."

I’d get a flat white with cinnamon

Buy sugar free Oregon chai latte mix, heat at home with milk or dairy sub of your choice. Save $$$$. This is made with Splenda however.

Other option is Blue Lotus chai mix powder which has neither sugar nor sugar substitutes . I mix with hot milk and a little honey. I prefer this one as it’s quite spicy.

Third option: make your own chai concentrate (boil black tea with cinnamon, clove, pepper. Cardamom pods) and use the concentrate as a base.

Regular tea! Unflavored latte with skim or 2% milk. Black coffee - they can sprinkle on cinnamon or chocolate powder for non-low calorie jazzing.

This isn’t what OP wants. She’s hoping for a little treat that isn’t a massive sugar bomb. Plain tea or black coffee is not a treat.

Skim milk, no whipped cream, and a single pump of whatever flavor is enjoyable without being a 500 calorie 60g of sugar nightmare.

True although personally I switch from iced to warm come fall … but in that case the answer is nothing. Anything flavored means sugar or sugar substitute. None of which are healthy, which OP also asked for.

Agree, but I’d use whole or 2% milk. It is so much better. Worth a few extra calories to be more satisfied

NP, I hear it plenty. There are myriad other examples of technically redundant phrases in colloquial English... ATM Machine, "Please RSVP", rice pliaf, shrimp scampi, etc... but while those technicalities are mildly amusing asides, nobody is interested in hearing from the pedant who insists on "correcting" others' common usage of these phrases/terms.

Earl grey with room. Add your own milk, sugar or sugar substitute, and sprinkle of cinnamon from the bar. This will save you hundreds of calories, dozens of grams of sugar, and several dollars over the seasonal offerings on the menu.

Not regularly. It’s high in sugar and juicing removes a lot of the fiber.
