Chai Latte Premix

If you’d prefer a chai over a hot chocolate you’re going to love my DIY gut friendly chai latte mix.

A lot of the pre-mix versions you can buy are heavy on the sugar. This DIY version will save you $$ and you can adjust the sweetener to your liking.

Gluten free, dairy free, nut free, egg free

Makes 1 medium sized jar

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons cinnamon powder
4 tablespoons ginger powder
2 tablespoons cardamom powder
2 teaspoons clove powder
2 teaspoons nutmeg powder
A couple of cracks of black pepper
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup gelatin powder
Optional extras:
Grated star anise - this is highly recommended - finely grate a star anise until you have around 1/2 to 1tsp of powder
1 tablespoon vanilla powder
2 tsp turmeric powder

Instructions:

To make a gut friendly chai latte, add 2-3 teaspoons of the mix to a mug of your favourite milk, then heat in a saucepan or thermomix.
Add a tablespoon of butter or coconut oil if desired to up the fat content and make it extra creamy and filling.
Mix up with a stick blender or blend in the thermomix at the end to make it nice and frothy and creamy.
Notes:
If you want to use this for cold drinks, smoothies or to flavour baked goods use collagen instead of gelatin as gelatin needs to be heated to dissolve.
This is quite ‘spiced’ so if you like a milder flavour or if you’re making a hot drink for kids start with 1-2 teaspoons of the spice mix per cup of milk and adjust to taste from there.
