Notes
Use fresh spices for the best flavor - if your cardamom has been in the cabinet since last winter, replace it.
Toast whole spices before grinding for a deeper, more complex blend.
Start with half a teaspoon in drinks and adjust up from there since the blend is more potent than store-bought mixes.
Make a double or triple batch at the start of the season and portion into small jars for gifting.
A chai spice sugar blend makes a beautiful, easy holiday gift alongside a bag of good black tea.
