A while back (when i was still pregnant i think), i got into my head that i wanted to make my own chai. I bought heaps of spices from the Indian supermarket and made up a batch from a recipe i found online. It was awful.
Fast forward to this week and i was checking out Craftzine blog. They mentioned Hannah's Chai Mix and my interest in Chai resurfaced. I dug out the spices and sent Kev to the shop for a few other supplies. I didn't follow Hannah's recipe exactly, i didn't have instant white tea so i used black tea leaves, nor did i have Coffee Mate 'Latte Creations' so i just left that out. I used cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom.
I blitzed it all together and spooned it into recycled jars. I found a half teaspoon of honey sweetened it just enough. This would be a great handmade gift for Christmas. I'm getting started on a list now. Do you have any recipes for mixes that could be given as gifts? I'm thinking cake and biscuit mixes, drink mixes, mixes for your beauty regime etc.
