This Chai Latte mix is so delicious and super easy to make!
I fell in love with chai lattes a couple of years ago and needed to find any easy mix to make at home. Chai tea is a blend of tea and spices and some sort of milk and/or cream. It’s so comforting to curl up on the couch with a hot cup of chai latte…. hmmm.
If you’ve been reading my lil ole’ blog for any length of time, you’ll know I really really don’t like to drink my calories. For me it just seems like a waste. I would much rather eat my calories.
Anyway, I could only find recipes that called for tons of sugar and calories. So, I created this recipe with as few calories as I could as possible and still be delicious! There are only 20 calories per tablespoon. That’s not bad!
When I was looking for recipes, quite a few of them required cardamon. Well, if you've ever shopped for cardamon, you will quickly find out how expensive it is! Like $10 for a little bottle! Sorry, I just can't do that! So, this recipe doesn't require cardamon, and you will be quite pleased with the blend of spices. :)
What’s also nice about this recipe is that the spices don’t chunk up at the top. I tried one recipe and all the spices wouldn’t blend well at all. The recipe only called for mixing the ingredients into a container.
This recipe blends beautifully! The secret is to run the whole thing through a small food processor, it blends the mix into a fine powder that is a snap to mix up.
This recipe will not disappoint!
Blessings,
This sounds really good! It would be wonderful to have at work when we need a quick hot drink on these cold days. Would also make nice gifts. I found the least expensive cardamom at an Amish store that sold bulk spices and would sell a little bit in a plastic zip bag. Thanks for a great recipe, Bev
ReplyDeleteYes, Bev, what a great idea! I love those little country stores! Thanks for stopping by!!
DeleteI adore chai but never thought to make it myself like this. How smart! I'll have to whip some up soon!
