"I love chai tea but the authentic recipes call for whole spices that I don't keep on hand. I do keep these ground spices on hand and I make it up in advance so it all comes together early in the morning."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Option 1: combine all the ingredients in a food processor or a coffee grinder. Store in a dry place. Use 1-2 Tbs per cup of strongly brewed black tea.

Step 2

Option 2: For an even easier option, substitute a can of sweetened, condensed milk for the powdered milk/turbinado sugar. You may want to thin it with some water or milk so it will blend. Store in the refrigerator. Use 1-2 Tbs per cup of tea.

Step 3

Option 3: For personal reasons I stopped using the canned or powdered milk above so I've started just using the spice mix alone and add my cream and sweetener to the cup of tea separately. I will brew a pot of tea and use about 1 tsp of spice to the pot.

Note: To fill up a spice jar. 2 Tablespoons of coriander, ginger, cinnamon. 1 Tablespoon ground cardamom. 1.5 teaspoons cloves and nutmeg. I haven't used the pepper yet even though it is traditional
