JMK- Instant tea is a powdered tea like instant coffee, used for making instant iced tea. It doesn’t come in a tea bag, just a loose powder. Hope that helps!

What do you mean by instant tea? Store bought powder for making iced tea? Or, do you mean loose tea (ie. tea leaves without the tea bag)? Sorry, we don’t call anything here instant tea. Dropping a tea bag into a teapot of boiled water and letting it steep is our “instant”.

Amy, Do you know how many calories is in this recipe? Per 8oz cup? I am counting calories and would LOVE to make this at home but I have to know how much is in it. Thanks!

I am so glad it was a hit, Tina!! I know that it can be nerve-wracking to buy that much in ingredients or make a batch of that size. I am so glad you trusted me

Just want to tell you I did the mixing and blending and pouring of hot water yesterday. I was scared that with about 7 cups of this mix I wasn’t going to like it. It rated an A on my books! Definitely a challenger for the Oregon Chai packets that cost so much! Thanks for posting this!

I think I will try making this without the creamer or the milk powder and just add to the instructions to mix with your favorite hot milk, since I have family that is allergic to dairy and even my mom can't take the non dairy creamer, but she could mix this with hot soy or rice milk and it would be a wonderful treat! thanks for the recipe!!

YUM! I’ve been wanting a recipe to make this as I got some homemade as a gift last year and wanted to know how to make a batch myself! Thanks so much!

This is amazing! We just whipped up a batch and it is delicious. The cardamom was a little too pricey for our budget so we omitted it (& the white pepper) & it is still realy good. So don't let the price of the cardamom keep you from trying this recipe.

Hi! Thanks for this recipe. My husband LOVES chai tea and we’ve had a hard time finding a mix that is just right. I made him a batch of this for Christmas and he told me it was “perfect” and now he never wants to buy another cup of Chai cause it won’t measure up!
