Chai Latte

I don't know when I first encountered the chai flavor, but I love it. I make this mix in bulk and store in my Ball jars and drink it all year long!

Chai Tea Latte Mix

What you'll need:

1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
2 cups powdered non-dairy creamer
2 teaspoons dry vanilla powder *
2 1/2 cups cups sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened instant tea
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamom




* it is hard to find dry vanilla powder- I've attempted to make my own by putting a little of the sugar in a food processor with the vanilla... but it usually sticks to the sides more than anything- so I've actually just omitted the vanilla the last few times I've made this and I haven't noticed a difference in taste.

Cardamom:

this is what gives it the 'chai' flavor. This is in the spice aisle of the grocery store and can be quite expensive- but a little goes a long way. I've made this several times and have hardly made a dent in the bottle.

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix.

In a blender or food processor, process 1 cup at a time until fine.

Store in air-tight containers.

To serve:

Add 2 Tablespoons to approximately 8 ounces of hot water.
Enjoy!
