Instant Chai Dry Mix
This recipe is inspired by my recent chai latte experience. I paid $7 for a hot dairy free chai latte and it was honestly one of the worst ones I’ve ever had. It tasted flat, barely spiced, and was lukewarm almost cold. It got me thinking, what keeps me from making this at home before I leave? Time! You have to brew the black tea, grab all the spices hiding in the cabinet, and it usually causes a mess. That’s when it hit me, to make an instant dry mix for all my chai lattes.
For the recipe, you can keep this dry mix near your coffee/matcha area, and all you have to do it heat hot water, mix it in, and then you’re all set! Use 1 tbsp for a mild chai, or 2 tbsp for a stronger version.
This instant chai mix is:
dairy free
refined sugar free
packed with heart healthy spices
quick and easy
plantbased
Craving something creamy?? Substitute the hot water for hot plant milk for a creamy chai latte!
