Homemade Vanilla Chai Mix



THIS HOMEMADE VANILLA CHAI MIX IS AN EASY WAY TO ENJOY YOUR FAVORITE LATTE RIGHT AT HOME! JUST ADD STEAMED OR HOT MILK!



Do you ever crave a sweet seasonal drink that’s not hot cocoa? Maybe you’re looking for something lighter to sip on, something with holiday spice, or something that’s just a little different. Well, a steaming mug of this spiced Vanilla Chai drink totally fits the bill!

This recipe makes a batch of a powdered mix that’s easy to prepare, share, and store. Just whisk a few tablespoons of the mix with hot milk, and get ready to enjoy a mugful of seasonal goodness!

In this recipe, tea is blended with powdered vanilla creamer for a rich, smooth taste. Dashes of cardamom, white pepper, cinnamon, ginger, and clove combine for a warm seasonal spice that hits the spot on a cold morning.


You can drink Vanilla Chai any time of the day! Prepare it with caffeinated tea to give it a slight energy boost that’s more mild than coffee, or choose to keep it decaf. It’s warm and soothing in the morning and also makes a great afternoon pick-me-up, especially when paired with a biscotti or a slice of banana bread. Sometimes, I like to make a warm mug of this stuff after dinner, when I’m wrapped in a blanket with a good book. Because the powdered mix stores so well, you can make a big batch and keep it on hand for whenever you need it.

Use Vanilla Chai mix and Mason jars to make beautiful hostess gifts and party favours. This way, you won’t have to arrive at the party empty-handed, or worry about guests leaving without a memento! Sharing something special is always a thoughtful way to show your gratitude; because, without a doubt, this will be one of your favourite cold-weather recipes this winter.

Decadent Milk Tea with Brown Sugar

Make your tea time creamy and sweet with milk tea. Super simple and delicious, my milk tea recipe is made special with half and a half and brown sugar. Milk Tea What is milk tea? In it’s most basic form, it’s tea with milk. That’s it. Oh, but wait, there’s more. Sure, you’ve got tea with a splash of milk but milk tea comes in a lot of different forms. When you add milk to an Earl Grey or English Breakfast, you’re drinking milk tea. Instead of cold milk, add frothed warm milk and you’ve got yourself a tea latte, which is milk tea. Add some boba balls to your milk tea and you’ve got a boba or bubble tea. Get some spices and black tea and you’ve got chai, an Indian version of milk tea. There’s also the popular Hong Kong-style milk tea which is made with evaporated or condensed milk. And finally, we have my version which is made with half & half and brown sugar. Smooth, sweet and creamy, just as milk tea should be. To Make This Milk Tea Assam black tea You can also use

Orange Brown Sugar Sweet Tea

#1: Grab the vegetable peeler and an orange and let’s get started.  Hold the orange firmly in one hand and, with the other hand, cut away the orange peel (the very outer, orange skin of the orange).  If you get a little of the white peel, the pith (remind anyone of Ethel Thayer?) it isn’t a big deal. #2: “Muddling”.  All it means, in this instance, is to mash an orange slice into the tea.  Right before serving the tea, place one half of an orange slice in the bottom of each glass and muddle, or mash, the orange to release the juice and oils.  Since I don’t own a muddler, I use the rounded end of my wooden spoon.  Muddle with slight force; just a couple of pushes and twists should be enough.
