CHAI TEA SPICE BLEND

I’m a coffee lover through and through but once in awhile I crave a warm cozy chai. You can buy pre-made chai blends at the supermarket but they’re often littered with preservatives and a ton of sugar. This spice blend is shelf stable and free of additives.

Ingredients:

3 tbl cinnamon

3 tbl ground ginger

3 tsp ground cardamon

2 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tsp ground clove

1 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp allspice

Directions:

Mix all spices in a bowl. Transfer to an air tight container or glass jar and keep for up to 2 months.

FOR A LATTE:

If you have a frother, combine 1- 1 1/2 tsp of the spice blend with 1 cup of dairy or non-dairy milk (full fat coconut milk is my go-to) and a splash of maple syrup. Pour into a mug with 1/2 cup of steeped black tea and enjoy!

If you don’t have a frother, add 1 cup of dairy or non-dairy milk to a small saucepan. Add 1- 1 1/2 tsp of the spice blend with a splash of maple syrup and whisk until your desired temperature. Add milk mixture to a mug with 1/2 cup of steeped black tea.

FOR A DIRTY CHAI:

Follow latte steps but add two shots of espresso instead of black tea.
