A chai tea latte is my favorite beverage, and I drink it almost daily year-round. I drink hot chai lattes during the colder months and iced chai lattes during the warmer months. So this four-spice chai mix gets used a lot! I also add this easy chai spice mix to other beverages, like my Chai Matcha Latte, baked goods, and more!

You can mix it with black tea for a classic chai tea, or mix it with a caffeine-free tea like rooibos. Below are some more ways to use chai spice. I hope you enjoy!

4-Ingredient Chai Spice Mix

This 4-ingredient chai spice mix is the perfect blend of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and nutmeg. I recommend using all organic ingredients to make the four-spice chai blend.

• Cinnamon – I only use Organic Ceylon Cinnamon. Ceylon, or “true cinnamon,“ is healthy, while the Cassia variety can be toxic in large amounts.
• Ginger – I love ginger for the warm, peppery, and slightly sweet flavor that it adds. It also has many health benefits.
• Cardamom – This spice has a strong aroma and a flavor that is warm, sweet, and spicy. 
• Nutmeg – Nutty, earthy, slightly sweet, and a little spicy.

Optional:

Allspice – Allspice is only one spice, also known as Jamaica pepper or myrtle pepper. It tastes like a combination of cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, and nutmeg, which makes it a great addition to a chai spice mix.

How to Make Chai Spice Mix

To make a homemade chai spice mix, add the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and nutmeg to a spice jar or a mason jar. Seal the jar and shake well to combine.

Store in an air-tight container at room temperature until ready to use.

Homemade Chai Tea

For homemade chai tea, use 1 heaping teaspoon of chai spice per 8 oz of water. Simmer in near-boiling water for 3-5 minutes with black tea. If desired, add warm or steamed milk and sweetener of choice to taste and stir well or froth. I use almond milk and stevia.
