Spice this up even further by adding 1 teaspoon each nutmeg and allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. You may choose to omit the French vanilla creamer, and use 2 teaspoons vanilla extract instead. To do so, mix the vanilla into the sugar, let it dry, then break the sugar into small lumps. Follow the same procedure as above. A quick, but very appreciative THANK YOU to the reviewers who aren't receiving zmail!

We ( a 4 year old; a 2 year old and I - hubby would like it...If I'd make it for him . The tea strainer idea has got to be great. (The only one I have is in a genie lamp...need to get one to try it.) All in all, good flavor, although I use 3 T for me and less for the children. It is yummy...in fact, I think I'll go make some right now.

I really like this recipe! My DF is a chai tea lover who hates coffee (what what what?) & this is nice to have on hand for when she stays over. I used sugar-free french vanilla powder & substituted a 1/2 cup Splenda & 1/2 cup gran sugar for the 2 1/2 cups sugar. Increased the cardamom (ground our own in my mojete & so did not want to waste it! LOL) to a tablespoon & so thusly increased the ginger & cinnamon. Kept cloves the same (measured better before gringing). Added 2 star anise which we ground fine (that took a while ). As I am a caffeine addict I also increased the instant tea to 3 cups. Man, this is good! Will definately be keeping this in the house at all times! Thank you for providing the base for our fiddling! Stored our mix (made a second batch right away for DF to take home with her) in the tea & french vanilla creamer jars with just a bit left in alpstic baggy. Oh, we found throwing the mix in the blender for a whirl greatly improved the texture & minimized wee crumbly bits in the bottom of our mugs. Oh & our version is caffeinated enough to wake you up and make you want more, more, more!

Felt like I needed to review this again, as with a few new tweaks, I have grown to LOVE this recipe! The main difference for me is using my tea strainer (very fine strainer used for loose tea) I make up the recipe as posted minus the powdered tea. Then I add the mix to my own hot brewed cuppa tea inside the tea strainer. This removes all the tiny grit, and makes for a nice smooth chai. I am shocked at what a difference straining it makes. I am drinking this every day now!! (I also sub the sugar for splenda, and it still tastes fab!) YUMMAH..thanks again for this delish recipe!
