Chai Spice

There are so many great reasons to make Chai Spice at home! It is a blend of warm fall spices that make it perfect for cakes, cookies, and even your coffee or tea. Chai spice is one of my favorite fall flavors! I really love making spice blends at home because I feel like they have more flavor, and they also have fewer preservatives! If you are like me, you’ll love this Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice that I always have on hand or this Apple Pie Spice which is so perfect for fall desserts! I also love savory homemade spices like Cajun Seasoning and this Homemade Fajita Seasoning.

Chai Spice Recipe

Chai spice is so easy to make at home, and it tastes so fresh and warm! I absolutely love having this spice blend on hand. It is great for baking fall treats and adding to your tea or your morning oatmeal. Chai spice doesn’t actually have any chai leaves in it. It is a blend of spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. A lot of people don’t know that it’s really easy to make at home! If you have only had chai spice in your coffee, you’re going to love how versatile this spice blend is! It’s similar to a pumpkin pie spice because it has all the warm spices that go great in pumpkin pie or apple cobbler. It has white pepper which gives it a little heat that feels great in a warm tea or chai latte.
