Chai Spice Powder

I have become addicted to Chai Tea lately so looked for a way to make it and save some $$.

1 cup white sugar
2 tbsp. ground ginger
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground cloves
2 tbsp. ground cardamom
2 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. white pepper
2 tsp. powdered vanilla

Combine sugar and spices. Blend to a fine powder in a food processor.

For hot chai, stir 2 teaspoons of chai powder into a mug filled with equal measures of hot tea and hot milk or soy milk, if you prefer.

For cold chai, stir 2 teaspoons of chai powder into a glass of iced tea. Add a large splash of milk or soy milk.

Store the dry mixture in an airtight container.
