Hey Jill! For the real explanation we'll need Rachelle, here's my take...
They pump some chai 'concentrate' into the cup and add water to dilute it, then milk. Without the water it will taste richer, even if you use non-fat milk...

I don't know what it is about it that is addicting to me... there are spices in it... think pumpkin pie but stronger... Ohhhhh! Is it morning yet?! Oooh the white mocha sounds good too!

Lol! You got it! It's just super concentrated (brewed) tea and spices typically mixed w/ hot water, then hot milk. I honestly don't know why they (meaning Starbucks Corp.) even bother to have the water as a part of the traditional recpie - I would estimate that 8 out of 10 people I made that for specifically requested "no water". Or they'd request extra Chai. . .until they figured out the water thing! :-)
