Chai Tea Mix (Yield: 8 or 9 cups)

 

3/4 cup non-fat dry milk powder
1 1/4 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
1 1/2 cups French vanilla flavored powdered non-dairy creamer
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 cups instant tea (do not use the sweetened and/or lemon flavored instant tea--use plain)
2 teaspoons ground ginger

 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon ground allspice

Combine all spices in food processor or blender, blend until fine powder. Combine spices and all other ingredients in large mixing bowl or pitcher. Run entire mixture through the blender. (This step can be omitted if you do not include the brown sugar) To serve, mix 2 heaping teaspoons Chai mix in mug of hot water.

Note: you may omit sugars and sweeten mixture to taste with your favorite sweetener when preparing it

If making a lot of Chai you can mix the spices separately in volume and just add 1/4 cup of spice mix to each batch of tea.

Note from Dan Lathrop: "...You need to run the whole mixture through a blender if you include the brown sugar (I don't normally use the sugars). It is hard to mix in. I drink a lot of this Chai and I mix the spices in large volume (easier to measure) and just add 1/4 cup of spice mix to a batch of tea rather than mix the spices each time.
