I received this recipe from my sister, who got it from a friend in Alaska. This warming drink makes a great Christmas gift. For friends at work, I bought some cute jars with lids. I placed some fabric on top and tied them with ribbon. —Donna Gish, Blue Springs, Missouri

This is a great warming drink. Not a fan of cardamom so I replaced it with 3/4 tsp. ginger. I've made a couple of batches to give away for Christmas gifts.

I love this recipie! IT is a keeper! I love the Oregon Chai Tea Liquid as well, but this totally is a wonderful beverage, as good or better than the liquid version!

I made a few changes, but overall it is quite good. First, I added 1 1/4 tsp of ginger. Other chai teas I have made (fresh from teabags) had ginger as a primary spice and this one is lacking the ginger. I made mine with hot water, not hot milk, at the end. I suppose really the difference is if you want chai TEA or chai latte. Since this is supposed to be chai TEA it already has tons on milk product in it....powdered milk and 2 kinds of creamers. So,I added my ginger and my hot water. Loved the spice, I can live with how sweet it is but the problem here is that you are still left with all the spice sediment in the bottom of the cup. Normally with chai tea the spices (in whole seed/clove format) are strained out of the tea and you don't have all the junk left on the bottom of the cup. Well I fixed that too. I filled up my coffee maker filter basket with the mix and made 2 batches in my coffee pot. Voila. The junk is strained out. I made a big jug of it like this and put that in the fridge. If we want it hot, can reheat in microwave; since my daughter likes it better as iced chai she can just throw ice in a glass and make hers that way. Even going to the effort of running the mix through the coffee maker's filter basket is a lot easier than making a pot of chai from fresh tea leaves once you get this big batch of mix thrown together.

I made 1 batch for myself, and now have many friends I'm making it for as gifts. LOVE it!! Note: If you don't have cardomom, use equal parts ground cinnamon and nutmeg. The only reason I made this change to the recipe was because a 1.75 oz container of cardomom was going to cost $15!

Made two batches of this for Christmas gifts this year and it was a hit. For the 2nd batch I cut the sugar in half - it was just too sweet for me with 2 whole cups. That's alot of sugar! Definitely be making this again next year. I've already had many requests for the recipe
