Chai-licious

Chai-licious
Last night we made chai latte mix at crafternoon. I don't mean to be over to top, but my taste buds are in heaven! The spicy mix coupled with frothy milk (thanks to our new coffee machine, care of Erica, Ben, Mum and Dad, thanks guys, it's tops!) is so chai-icious, I couldn't stop drinking them all day (I couldn't even wait to take a photo before having a big swig!)

Here is my recipe:
4 teaspoons of ground ginger
4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons of vanilla sugar
2 teaspoons of ground allspice
2 teaspoons of ground cardamom
2 teaspoons of ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Mix all the spices together well, then add

2 cups of castor sugar
1 cup of instant tea

mix :: store in airtight container.

To make into a Chai latte
Add 2 heaped teaspoons of chai mixture to a mug of hot milk :: stir :: drink and relax while watching back-to-back episodes of Scrubs and writing your next blog entry about how much you luuurve hot chai-liciousness. xx

Thanks so much for making me chai, I soooo needed it yesterday (and will again today) to fight of the blurg lurg.
The spice really help kick the old cold fair in the cobblers!

I am on to my second batch! ANd I am giving my Mum a jar as part of her Mother's Day present.

Just a tip that I do with mine, is I make mine in a plunger so that I don't have to fish all the tea leaves out of my teeth!

Yay! I'm so glad you love it :)

Great idea with the plunger Megs, I'm not a big fan of the sludge which ends up at the bottom of my cup, this is a great way to fix it!
