RECIPE | Homemade Chai Tea

Confession: I am slightly in love with chai tea lattes. Especially the ones from Starbucks. So when I found a homemade recipe for chai tea mix I had to try it. Now I was hesitant because I knew it wasn't going to be as good as Starbucks', & I'm not going to lie, it isn't. But it's still amazing so I wanted to share it all with you.

Here is the original recipe that I found off Pinterest. It called for cloves but it turns out I didn't have any so I just skipped it this time around. Here are the ingredients:

 Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl & combine with whisk.

Put about 1 cup at a time into a blender or food processor. I used a Magic Bullet cause they're amazing. (Seriously if you don't have one you need to go buy one right now.)

 Blend until it is a fine powder.

 Pour into an airtight container - I used an old spaghetti sauce jar.

 And voila!

I don't exactly follow the same directions as the original recipe when it comes to making it but when I am ready to enjoy this delicious beverage I just heat up about 2/3 of a cup full of water, put 3-4 heaping spoonfuls of the mix, & add the last 1/3 of the mug with milk cause I like it extra creamy (:

*Note: During the holidays I was putting eggnog in my mug in place of the milk & it was TO DIE for. Heaven I tell ya, heaven.

**Note (again): It's also really good if you add just a little spoonful of hot chocolate mix or chocolate syrup to the mug. Yum yum YUM.
