tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4

cup unsweetened instant tea (dry)
1

teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2

2

Include these directions on package: For each serving, place 1/4 cup Chai Mix in cup. Fill with 8 ounces very hot water. For creamier chai, use half milk and half water. Makes 4 servings.

For an extra-special gift, use an iced-tea spoon to layer Chai Mix into a small flower vase.
Cardamom can be purchased either in pods, as seed or a powder. Cardamom pods hold up to 20 small seeds. This strongly fragrant spice has a slight lemony-sweet flavor with a touch of pepper and ginger.
