Do you ever crave a sweet seasonal drink that’s not hot cocoa? Maybe you’re looking for something lighter to sip on, something with holiday spice, or something that’s just a little different. Well, a steaming mug of this spiced Vanilla Chai drink totally fits the bill!

This recipe makes a batch of powdered mix that’s easy to prepare, share, and store. Just whisk a few tablespoons of the mix with hot milk, and get ready to enjoy a mugful of seasonal goodness!

In this recipe, tea is blended with powdered vanilla creamer for a rich, smooth taste. Dashes of cardamom, white pepper, cinnamon, ginger, and clove combine for a warm seasonal spice that hits the spot on a cold morning.

You can drink Vanilla Chai any time of the day! Prepare it with caffeinated tea to give it a slight energy boost that’s more mild than coffee, or choose to keep it decaf. It’s warm and soothing in the morning and also makes a great afternoon pick-me-up, especially when paired with a biscotti or a slice of banana bread. Sometimes, I like to make a warm mug of this stuff after dinner, when I’m wrapped in a blanket with a good book. Because the powdered mix stores so well, you can make a big batch and keep it on hand for whenever you need it.

Use Vanilla Chai mix and Mason jars to make beautiful hostess gifts and party favors. This way, you won’t have to arrive at the party empty-handed, or worry about guests leaving without a memento! Sharing something special is always a thoughtful way to show your gratitude; because, without a doubt, this will be one of your favorite cold-weather recipes this winter.
