To prepare, simply combine the mix with hot water or your preferred milk, such as dairy or plant-based alternatives. Stir well until the powder is fully dissolved. For a richer, creamier latte, you can heat the milk before mixing. Adjust the amount of mix to suit your taste preference for sweetness and spice intensity. It can also be added to smoothies or used as a flavor enhancer in baked goods.

Unlike loose-leaf chai or pre-made liquid concentrates, this mix offers a dry, shelf-stable option. It eliminates the need for multiple ingredients like tea, sugar, and individual spices, streamlining the preparation process. The spice profile is pre-balanced for a consistent flavor in every serving.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining mix in its original packaging or an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its freshness and prevent clumping. Proper storage ensures the quality of the spice blend and tea for future use.
