I received this recipe from my sister, who got it from a friend in Alaska. This warming drink makes a great Christmas gift. For friends at work, I bought some cute jars with lids. I placed some fabric on top and tied them with ribbon. -Donna Gish, Blue Springs, Missouri

CHAI TEA MIX GIFT IN A JAR
Watch out Starbucks, you'll be out of business in no time. The nutmeg and allspice is an added spice hit, use as desired. Also, I've been playing around with the amount of sugar, I like the sweetness with just 1/2 cup sugar, some suggest no sugar at all. If you don't care for the residue in the bottom of your cup, you can strain the mix with a fine sieve. Food for thought. Note 12-21-12 (I want to thank the gal that just reviewed The Chai Tea.... she used it in her K coffee machine by just running hot water into the cup, perfect temperature for the tea mix)

Tips:

- Experiment with different ratios of spices: There is no one-size-fits-all recipe for chai tea mix. The perfect blend of spices will depend on your personal preferences. Experiment with different ratios of spices until you find a combination that you love.
- Add sweetener to taste: Chai tea mix can be sweetened with sugar, honey, or another sweetener of your choice. Add sweetener to taste, keeping in mind that you can always add more but it is difficult to remove it once it has been added.
- Store your chai tea mix in an airtight container: Once you have made your chai tea mix, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help to preserve the flavor and aroma of the spices.
Conclusion:
Chai tea mix is a delicious and versatile beverage that can be enjoyed hot or iced. It is also a great gift for friends and family. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own chai tea mix at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
