Instant Creamy Chai Mix

An enjoyable hot spiced tea blend of vanilla, black tea and

exotic spices from India.

 

Recipe from Joanie Grow's kitchen.

 

2 cups skim milk powder (Carnation brand)

2 cups powdered, nondairy creamer

2 cups powdered sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 cups instant tea, unsweetened (Lipton brand)

1 pkg. (3.40 oz.) instant vanilla pudding (Jell-O brand)

2 TB ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp. ground cardamom

1/4 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. ground allspice

1/8 tsp. ground cloves

1/2 tsp. ground turmeric. optional

1/8 tsp. ground white pepper, optional

 

Mix one cup of powdered dry milk with the brown sugar and spices and blend in

the blender or food

processor, to get the lumps out of the brown sugar. Combine with remaining

ingredients and mix well.

 

The turmeric adds a rich, lovely color to the finished brew. The white pepper

adds a nice warmth.

 

Start with two rounded tablespoons of mix to an 8 ounce cup of hot water. Add

another tablespoon of mix

to taste, if necessary.

 

Store in a covered container.

 

Note: I mix and store in a gallon glass jar.
