If you're a fan of chai tea, you know that there's nothing quite like a cup of strongly brewed tea flavored with spices like cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. And while you can certainly buy chai tea mix at the store, there's something incredibly satisfying about making your own blend at home.
Not only is homemade chai tea mix more economical than its store-bought counterpart, but it also allows you to customize the flavor to suit your preferences. Want your chai tea a little sweeter? Add a bit more sugar. Need a little less caffeine? Use decaf black tea instead. The possibilities are endless!
