Chai Concentrate
I love making my own chai concentrate at home and keeping it ready-to-go in the fridge. I prefer a chai that is slightly sweet and mild, but with plenty of flavor! Feel free to adjust the sugar and spices to your taste. This recipe calls for whole or cut dried spices rather than ground, which…
