The only problem that I have with this mix is the grit I get at the bottom of my cup. I guess I need to find a way to process it finer. I also use more mix per cup as I long it strong.

I liked the idea of this recipe, but it required quite a bit of tweaking to get it to my taste. There was too much sugar, and not enough spice. I didn't add the pepper, but I did add the nutmeg and allspice. Also, half again as much of the other spices as called for, 1/2 cup less of sugar, and 1/2 cup more of creamer. I mix it with fat free milk instead of water.

I was trying to replicate the taste of Trader Joe's chai tea mix, as I love it and can't afford it. I couldn't get the french vanilla creamer, but stirred a little vanilla extract into my drink. My roommate and I are hooked now! It's really nice to come home after classes and have a cup of chai.

This is the best recipe I have found on AllRecipes.com by far! I was buying a lot of Chai Tea mix from my Tastefully Simple friend but it was getting expensive. Now I can make my own a little more affordable. The spices might be expensive to purchase at the beginning, but you only use a little each time.

The flavor in this is so much more than what you buy in the store. We keep this on our counter every year throughout the winter months. It is wonderful! I use soy milk with mine which is delicious! Thank you for this recipe!

The most surprising thing to me about this was how difficult it is to find plain old unsweetened unflavored instant tea mix! Man o man, I went to about 4 stores before I found it. I don't like cloves, at all, so I subbed in allspice since it's similar but not as strong. I sampled the batch as I made it and found I needed to slightly increase the allspice (instead of cloves) and cinnamon just a little bit. This is really good. I'm giving it to some Chai Tea lovers in my life. Hope they like it.

Love this recipe! This is the second winter that I have been making it! Made a vanilla caramel batch and a hazelnut batch today by substituting those flavors of creamer for both the vanilla and original creamer. Both were great! Everyone I give some to loves it and wants more!
