I stumbled across the MotherLoad the other day — quite literally! I was looking for a nice iced chai tea recipe, and instead found this incredible vanilla chai mix! I will admit to being too frugal to invest in the cardamom (anything that costs more than $10 at Wal-Mart, I expect to be able to wear!), but all the other ingredients were pantry staples (Because of the recent move, I had to buy almost all of them, but I’m happy to have them on-hand now!).
I’ve yet to try it iced, but my plan is to add a double-dose of the mix with 8 oz. of hot water to dissolve it well, and then to pour it over a full glass-full of ice, to cool and dillute it. I’ll have to let you know how that works! But I’m enjoying my first hot cuppa right now, and it is truly delectable! It makes a huge batch, as well — I’m taking it to tonight’s Preemie Hat Knit Night at Main Street Yarns, so anyone else craving a good chai can help themselves! I’m betting my cup will never run dry!
