Instant Chai Tea

I absolutely love chai tea, the smell of spice and with some frothy milk, it's like a caffeinated mulled wine (sans alcohol).

Given my slight chai addiction, I thought there had to be a more economical way of getting my delicious fix. After a bit of research, I've come up with an instant chai tea blend which I've decantered into small containers and taken with me on holiday.

You will need:

1 cup/150g skimmed milk powder

1 cup/150g coffee creamer

2.5 cups/450g caster sugar (or vanilla sugar, if available)

1.5 cups/225g instant tea
2 tsp ground ginger

2 tsp ground cinnamon



1 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp ground cardamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp allspice

 



Method 

1. Mix milk powder, creamer, caster sugar and tea together.
2. Add spices and stir until completely combined
3. Store in an air-tight container.

To serve

Stir two heaped teaspoons into some boiling water and serve. I like to stir my chai tea mix into a small amount of warm milk first, for an extra creamy taste.

Enjoy!
