Ingredients
  • 1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
  • 2 cups powdered non-dairy creamer, French Vanilla flavored
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1½ cups unsweetened instant tea
  • 1 tablespoon ground Saigon cinnamon (regular will work, but if you can find the Saigon type at your grocer, it’s worth the price!)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine dry milk powder, non-dairy creamer, sugar and instant tea.
  2. Stir in cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  3. In a food processor, blend 2 cups at a time, until mixture is the consistency of fine powder.
  4. Store the powdered mix in an airtight container.
  5. To serve, put ¼ cup Chai tea mixture into a mug and add hot water.
  6. NOTE: this is also very nice with a teaspoon of honey stirred in after the tea mix and water have been blended together.

I will definately have to whip some of this up....
Good post..


You so know that I'm making this for Christmas gifts! We have a group that does a coffee mug exchange at work and I'm always trying to come up with a new mix to put in the mugs. Last year, I did chocolate covered spoons and that was a hit. I think this year, this mix will be the winner!


Thank you, I love Chai and now I can make my own,

I am the niece and it was delicious!! I love Chai Tea - Starbucks ain't got nothing on this!


I am a chai tea lover..thanks.M


Mmm, I love a good cup of Chai. I usually order it imported from China, but this sounds like it would be a great recipe to travel with, take with on a camping trip or something where brewing tea is inconvenient.


This is a Christmas gift pleaser for sure. Wow, thanks for sharing KKake.
