Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons loose black tea or black tea bags (optional)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or coconut sugar (optional)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, ground allspice, ground black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly combined.
If desired, stir in the loose black tea or black tea bags (cut open and contents added) for a chai mix that incorporates tea and is ready to brew.
Add granulated sugar or coconut sugar to the mix if you prefer a pre-sweetened blend.
Transfer the chai mix to an airtight container, such as a glass jar or tin, and store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
To prepare a vegan chai latte, combine 1 teaspoon of the chai mix with 1 cup of plant-based milk (such as almond, oat, or soy milk) in a small saucepan.
Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warm and fragrant. For a stronger flavor, simmer for a few minutes longer.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve if needed, then pour into a mug and enjoy.
