I bet coconut milk would be good too, for non-dairy friends. What do you think??

Fabulous idea! I’ve made chai mixes before too only I don’t put any tea in it – just spices. It’s pretty incredible with just spices alone. Love the idea for containers too. Easy to get any of those second hand and it still looks great!

I just saw your response to my comment! I don’t want to hijack your comment section with more on the homemade gifts I’ve made – but if you’d really like to know more, let me know where I should write you! No pressure, though!

Sustainable Eats – Good question! One batch of this is about 3T and what you need for one pot of tea – and it needs either a cinnamon stick or 1 teaspoon of cinnamon bark pieces.

If you’re going to double, triple, or quadruple the recipe – use one cinnamon stick per batch/pot of tea. The amount of loose mix per batch would then be about 2-1/2 tablespoons plus a cinnamon stick.

You’re not giving it as gifts, but if you were (w/ cinnamon sticks instead of bark), you’d have to adjust the directions for the recipient accordingly and probably package it up a bit differently. The reason I picked cinnamon bark is because I knew I could get all the mix to fit well in my containers, whereas having a cinnamon stick might present a bit of a difficulty.

I hope this makes sense!
