5-minute Caffeine-free Chai Mix

4 Tbsp ground cinnamon ((cassia is best))

3 Tbsp ground ginger

4 ½ tsp ground cardamom

1 Tbsp ground black pepper ((reduce by half for less spice))

¾ tsp ground nutmeg

¾ tsp ground cloves

1 ½ tsp chai mix

1 Tbsp maple syrup ((or other sweetener to taste))

1 cup Homemade coconut or almond milk* ((or store-bought))

To make mix, add all spices to a small jar and shake or stir thoroughly to combine. Will keep at room temperature up to 3 months. Or you can store it in the refrigerator if you prefer. Double the recipe if you intend to use it daily (it goes fast!).
To make a HOT chai latte, add suggested amount of Chai Mix, sweetener of choice, and 2 tsp water to a mug (or small blender). Use a spoon to mix spices into water (or skip this step if blending). Then add warmed dairy-free milk of choice to your mug (or blender) and stir (or blend) to combine. The spice mix can settle to the bottom, but blending really helps! Keep a spoon handy to give it a stir when drinking if the spices need to be dispersed.
To make an ICED chai latte, add suggested amount of Chai Mix, sweetener of choice, and 2 tsp water to a serving glass. Use a spoon to mix into a loose paste (you want as few clumps as possible). Then add several big ice cubes and top with dairy-free milk of choice. Stir to combine.
In addition to being used to make chai lattes, we also think it would make a delicious spice mix for cookies, vegetables, smoothies, and more!
