Instant Chai Tea Mix

Recipe #131436 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

Spice this up even further by adding 1 teaspoon each nutmeg and allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. You may choose to omit the French vanilla creamer, and use 2 teaspoons vanilla extract instead. To do so, mix the vanilla into the sugar, let it dry, then break the sugar into small lumps. Follow the same procedure as above. A quick, but very appreciative THANK YOU to the reviewers who aren't receiving zmail!

I made this up in jars to give to family members this year. It will be presented to them in Christmas food baskets with lots of fun things to eat and drink. It will be enjoyed by all who receive them! Delicious Chai!

    Wonder, delicious, and economical. I am also a chai tea lover. I am making batches today for X-mas gifts. Since so many of my family members and friends love chai tea, but have various health issues, I am eliminating the sugar and labeling the containers as unsweetened and allowing them to use their own choice of sweetner. Then, everyone is happy and it also cuts on the cost of ingredients. And I give the recipe 10 stars. Thanks, Sandi

    Felt like I needed to review this again, as with a few new tweaks, I have grown to LOVE this recipe! The main difference for me is using my tea strainer (very fine strainer used for loose tea) I make up the recipe as posted minus the powdered tea. Then I add the mix to my own hot brewed cuppa tea inside the tea strainer. This removes all the tiny grit, and makes for a nice smooth chai. I am shocked at what a difference straining it makes. I am drinking this every day now!! (I also sub the sugar for splenda, and it still tastes fab!) YUMMAH..thanks again for this delish recipe!

    I really like this recipe! My DF is a chai tea lover who hates coffee (what what what?) & this is nice to have on hand for when she stays over. I used sugar-free french vanilla powder & substituted a 1/2 cup Splenda & 1/2 cup gran sugar for the 2 1/2 cups sugar. Increased the cardamom (ground our own in my mojete & so did not want to waste it! LOL) to a tablespoon & so thusly increased the ginger & cinnamon. Kept cloves the same (measured better before gringing). Added 2 star anise which we ground fine (that took a while ). As I am a caffeine addict I also increased the instant tea to 3 cups. Man, this is good! Will definately be keeping this in the house at all times! Thank you for providing the base for our fiddling! Stored our mix (made a second batch right away for DF to take home with her) in the tea & french vanilla creamer jars with just a bit left in alpstic baggy. Oh, we found throwing the mix in the blender for a whirl greatly improved the texture & minimized wee crumbly bits in the bottom of our mugs. Oh & our version is caffeinated enough to wake you up and make you want more, more, more!
