As much as I love my chai lattes, I really don't need all the excess sugar...so, my "plan" is to experiment with the flavored coffee Kcups (with cream, for starters). Maybe I can eventually learn to like them (without cream), then I can cut back on the chai's. Ha. We'll see...this definitely will be a major work-in-progress!
