Chai tea is a wonderfully sweet, spicy and delicious beverage. It’s quite expensive though, if you buy a dry mix at your grocery store. However, you don’t really have to buy a mix because you can just as easily make one on your own.
After a lot of fiddling with spices I think I achieved a really good combination. It’s quite spicy and sweet with the taste of tea hinting in the background. Never heard of instant tea before? Me neither – not until I started to research dry chai mixes, where it’s almost always a staple ingredient. You can find it at your grocery store at the tea department. If you for some reason can’t find it, you could always skip it in this mix and add the dry mixture to a cup of brewed tea.

I like to use about 3-4 tablespoons to 7 oz of water, but that’s of course a matter of taste.
