homemade chai mix

Treat Week continues with this sweet & spicy holiday "how to"... (if you missed yesterday's post, you can check it out here).

When the temperature drops and it begins to snow, I immediately turn to my hot tea. Chai tea to be exact. It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy on the inside. I love how it smells. When I stumbled across this recipe for homemade chai tea mix, I knew I had to try it!

To package the chai tea mix for gifts I simply bought a few ball jars at Target & printed out my own homemade labels using the 2.5" round Avery kraft paper labels. They are the best. 

As the label states, you add 3 tsp of mix into a mug of water. You can also add milk (to taste). These little jars of chai mix make the perfect gift for family, friends or coworkers. Enjoy!
If you'd like to make your own chai, you can find the recipe here. If you'd like to print out some of my labels, you can download the file here.
