Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Black tea (loose leaf or tea bags)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional)
- 12 tablespoons Powdered milk (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the black tea, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
If using granulated sugar, stir it into the mixture for a sweet base. Alternatively, the mix can be left unsweetened, and sugar can be added to individual servings as needed.
If a creamy chai mix is desired, add powdered milk to the spice and tea blend. Stir to combine thoroughly.
Transfer the chai tea mix into an airtight container or jar. Store it in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To prepare a cup of chai, add 1 heaping tablespoon of the chai tea mix to 1 cup of hot water or hot milk. Stir thoroughly until the mix dissolves (if using powdered milk, ensure it’s fully incorporated).
Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade chai tea!
