Pour 12 oz boiling water over 2 tea bags. Let steep until the desired strength is obtained. Stir in 3-4 tbsp instant chai tea mix. Add a few drops of vanilla if desired.
Variations
To make this low fat: Leave out the heavy cream powder and add almond milk after you add the mix. Start with 1 tbsp of the mix and taste.
To make this dairy free: Leave out the heavy cream powder and add a splash of coconut milk after you add the mix. Start with 1 tbsp of the mix and taste.
Notes
*** Some of these are pricey and I don't use them very often. My recommendation is to buy whole spices and then grind them as needed. They can last years that way. These measurements will make 4-5 cups of chai tea. You can make this in larger quantities if desired.
