18 Reviews of Chai Tea Gift Mix

From: luvmybge

On Aug 25, 2003

I made the recipe as is only I left out the powdered sugar. I also used fat free French Vanilla flavored coffee creamer. After tasting it I thought it was too sweet and it had too much spice taste to it so I added another 1/4 cup of tea and 1/2 cup of powdered milk to the mixture and it tasted better to me. If you like really sweet stuff... make the recipe as is.. if not, adding the extra tea and powdered milk helped to cut down on that sweetness. I would certainly add a jar of this to a home-made gift basket. Thanks for the idea.

    A delicious and very easy gift mix. Great taste. I did put all ingredients in food processor and blended to a fine powder (so you coudn't see the powdered milk). Thanks for a very good recipe!

    Ok Sarafish, I thought I had reviewed this back in December, but I guess I forgot. I made this to give away as gifts, and to keep in my house. I am on my second batch, I have it at least once a day. This is the closest that I have come to the stuff you buy at the store premade. The only thing different I added was a pinch of powdered ginger. Thanks for the recipe.

    Sarah, this is GREAT! I was thinking of making these for Christmas gifts for the office and I just had to give them a try ahead of time! I followed your directions exactly and wouldn't change a thing! And they are good iced too! Thanks!

    I made this just as the recipe directed — it was awesome! And not too high in calories. Portion wise this is great! Thanks for posting/1

    I made a quadruple batch of this. The only change I made was using NUTMEG instead of the cardamom (because I don't have any!) It still turned out delicious! I have 3 pairs of matching tins (one small and one medium-sized), and I'll be putting the chai mix in the small tin and tie it with ribbon to the top of the larger, cookie-filled tin. Thanks for the unique gift idea!

    Originally gave this recipe a four star review because I thought it should be given a whizz in the blender... Well.. it probably should be whizzed in the blender but that didn't keep me from scarffing down almost the whole batch w/in 2 weeks. Gift mix my eye... I'm keeping it allllll for me !! (Maybe I'll give away some away next time...=) Thanks for posting!

    I'm sorry but this recipe didn't work for me...the tea flavor wasn't strong enough against all the milk in it. I had to add extra tea to make it stronger.
