The warm & cozy blend of spices in this DIY Chai Spice Mix is perfect for that holiday baking or for easy gift giving...
It is definitely not a secret that I love pretty much all things chai spiced. There is just something about that blend of warm spices that instantly makes me think of cozy winter evenings and the holidays.
While cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg are classic spices you probably always reach for in your holiday baking, it is the addition of cardamom and ground pepper that give a chai spice blend its distinctness and little extra spicy kick.
If you have ever enjoyed a good cup of warm chai tea or a creamy chai latte, then you know exactly what I am talking about here. ;)
I have found myself using a blend of chai spices in some of my original recipes for a couple of years now. It all started with my Coconut Chai Biscotti back in April of 2013. And then I baked up a batch of Peanut Butter Chai Cookies, and the chai spiced recipes just kept rolling out from there.
Getting tired of always having to break out an arsenal of spices every time I baked up one of my favorite chai recipes, I decided to go ahead and whip a ready-to-use DIY Chai Spice Mix.
It literally took me maybe 5 minutes to whisk this together, and I now I have perfectly mixed chai spices ready to go whenever I need it...
