What are the Chai spices?
This chai spice mix is on the spicier side. We like our chai with a bite rather than a sweet spice mix so we added a little extra ground ginger. If you love yourself a sweet chai, try taking out some ginger and adding more cinnamon or even a teaspoon of coconut sugar or brown sugar. Have no shame either way. The taste buds want, what the taste buds want. DO YOU FEEL ME?
We love mixing up our own chai spices so that we have chai spice ready in the pantry whenever we’re craving a chai tea latte or one of our favorite Fit Foodie Finds chai recipes. Yes, we have a bunch!Ā Check them out.

Hi Lee,
love your idea for grounding the spices. I know about the these spices and I love a strong tasty
Chai any time of the day but it’s so difficult to boil all the spices together for a while and wait to
enjoy a cup of chai but with your idea, I can have it anytime and with the almond milk version looking forward to making that. So thank you very much! Love #fitfoodiefinds!!

How much per cup of tea? Does it leave a sediment or should it be filtered?

You can use it in baked goods, in hot chocolate, in oatmeal, etc!
Delicious! I think that I had been missing the ginger previously. I make a drink from milk, honey and this spice! Thank you!

Iām looking to flavor Kombucha any ideas on how much you would add to say a 16oz second fermentation or for flavoring tea?
Hi! I used this chai spice in cookies, but I was wondering if you have a recipe for a chai latte or chai tea.
I would simply dissolve around 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of this seasoning into your hot milk of choice! You can also add a shot of espresso, too!
Ahh I made the mix and now donāt see anywhere how much to use if I want to make a chai latte. Help!
If you’re making it for 1 person, I’d start with 1/2 teaspoon!
On the very top picture you have a spice labeled nutmeg. Itās not on the recipe though. Just wondering if you left it out accidentally?
I’d love to know the answer as well!
Nutmeg is in allspice
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allspice Allspice is a plant not a spice blend. Allspice and nutmeg are from different plants.
Funny, I was just think8ng about nutmeg too, as I was writing down the ingredients. I keep making this over and over again to put in my coffee eveey day and either was it’s delicious.
Thanks for a chai spice without sugar! Now I can add it or leave it out, depending on my own preference!
Made this today but added 1/2 tsp fennel seeds to the mix. Put it in my almond milk hot chocolate and added a bit of vanilla essence at the end, delicious!! Thanks for such a great recipe! I love spice blends!!!
I just made this Chai mix and love it! I upped the cardamom in mine as that’s my favourite flavour. I’ve made a hot chocolate with it and it’s absolutely gorgeous! I hope to find many more uses for it now!
Awesome modifications! Hot chocolate with a little scoop of this in it would be SO GOOD.
about how much of the chai spice do you use in a recipe? like how many teaspoons would you add to a quick bread or muffin recipe?
I would add 1 to 2 teaspoons!
I made this recipe and found the spices to float around my cup and had a gritty texture, did I do something wrong? Other than that, taste was fantastic!
Hi Luciana! Next time stir the spices longer on the burner. The high heat will help dissolve the spice particles and release flavor!
Try running the blend through a coffee bean grinder or spice grinder for a finer texture. I find it helps. I can even grind up green tea leaves for a matcha powder consistency. I am making this chai right now, I’m in love with the flavour but the coffee shops add too much junk to it so I’ve haven’t had in the longest time. š
Thank you for this beautifully simple find! Think chai spiced New York style cheese cake…using your blend.
Hey,
do you know what allspice could also be known as? trying to think if there is any international equivalent.
I happen to be in love with chai, and making my own would save me so much money! #poorstudent
sorry! Found it!
Oh good!!!
Hi, I was wondering how much chai spice, sugar, milk and water did you use for one cup? Thank you.

Chia Tea used to be my rocket fuel. I always used to get a soy chia at the gas station next to my boarding school during high school!! Ha! That was before I knew or cared about nutrition or had ANY of my stomach problems! NowI know better and… Will DIEEEEEEEE if I drink soy. LOL! But this spice mix can STILL work its way into my life! š
Can you have almond milk or rice milk? Or no milk at all? You could snort this chai mix?
My nose just got excited!
I love Chai! Nothing more soothing then the smell of warm spice in the air!
I can not wait to make this!
Why did I think Chai was this complicated thing? I’m so out of the loop! Love all of these spices! š
To make a chai tea latte you just need some of this + a black tea bag + milk! #boomsauce
How much chai spice with the tea bag and milk to make a chai latte?
I would do about 1/2t chai spice + 1 cup milk + 1 black tea bag. If you need more spice…add it! But I would start with 1/2 teaspoon!
love the photos! and chai, of course. the coconut milk chai ice cream from minimalist baker, i die!
AHHHHHHH. I need that recipe in my life. Love MB.
