Last year I discovered Dirty Chai.  I  got a bit addicted to the wonderful melody of coffee, cloves and ginger topped with heavy whipping cream.  

However, most coffee shops or mixes have sugar it in.  This makes it tough for to me drink since I really do try to avoid sugar.

Is coffee that has been infused with the spices commonly added to chai tea/

    I agree with you! I’ve found that without sugar, I use so much more cinnamon and nutmeg. I love chai, so I can’t wait to try this out!

    Sounds great, but I’m a wussy & would need a little of some sort of sweetener.

      Cindy, the spices need time to steep in the coffee. You could try taking brewed coffee and adding it to a pan and cooking it on low for 5 minutes and then straining it.
