In a small blender or spice grinder, combine the black tea, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg (optional), and clove. Blitz to combine. Transfer to a jar and add the coconut milk powder.

To make a hot chai latte in a BLENDER (our preferred method for best texture/flavor/frothiness): Add 2 Tbsp (18 g) of mix to a heat-safe high-speed blender along with sweetener of choice + collagen peptides (optional). Then add 1 ¼ cup (300 ml) very hot water (or warmed milk of choice — see notes) and blend on high until frothy and combined, ~30 seconds. Enjoy!
