Very Vanilla Chai Powder
This easy to make fragrant powder will warm up any morning with its spicy deliciousness. Make well in advance and enjoy all winter long.
We can't drink coffee or brewed chocolate all the time, am I right? Tea can be lovely on the right occasion, but sometimes you want something a little bit sweeter and richer and well, fluffier! This is that recipe. I LOVE IT. Bree one of my team members brought this to work and it was love at first sniff. Just like some love, this is instant. Just warm up your milk and you are ready! It will keep very well, would make a lovely gift all tied up in cellophane bags with instructions on how to use and is really just very warming and a little bit trendy!
You could add this to your tea/coffee/brewed chocolate for added wintery pleasure. You decide. How will you Chai?
