Homemade chai tea spice is one of those spices I like to make and keep in a mason jar in my cupboard. It makes a delicious cup of chai tea hot or cold. But it is also great in baked goods and ice cream! Chai means tea in India and their roads are packed with vendors who sale this delicious treat. I’d like to add that chai tea got me through my pregnancy with triplets. Something in those warm spices gave relief to my always upset stomach.

What you’ll need

Your gonna want some warm spices to make this chai tea spice mix but feel free to adjust the amounts to taste. I use ground cinnamon, ginger, cardamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and a pinch a fresh ground black pepper. To make your cup of tea you’ll also need black tea bags. I prefer English Breakfast. Last you’ll need sweetener. I like to use maple syrup but honey or white sugar work just as well.

How to make homemade chai tea spice

I gathered up all my spices and measured them out and poured them into my mason jar. Give it a good shake to mix up the spices. This can store in your mason jar for up to 6 months. If it last that long!

• You can adjust the seasonings to fit your taste. I like mine with a little extra black pepper.
• Chai tea can be served hot or over ice for a cold chai tea.
• Spices won’t dissolve so be sure to stir well.
• Chai tea spice is good in your baked goods, ice cream or even chia pudding. The options are endless.
