The Perfect Spiced Chai

This dreamy cup of chai is a beautiful blend of whole spices and fresh ginger. I find everyone’s chai preference is slightly different so don’t be afraid to customize the spice quantities to fit your perfect cup. I personally love this cardamon infused mix with a hint of ginger. (Gluten free and Vegan)
