This chai spice blend is delicious in just about everything you're whipping up this holiday season from cookies and cakes to pancakes, eggnog and lattes! I also love it mixed with some granulated sugar and sprinkled over warm, buttered toast for a spicy spin on cinnamon toast.

Steps to make Chai Spice Blend:

1. Toast all the spices over low heat until fragrant, stirring occaisionally. Curry leaves should be removed as soon as they start to brown. When cardamom pods puff up, remove and break them open then return to the pan.
2. Crush toasted spices well in a mortar and pestle or blend in a spice ginder
3. Add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of spice blend to a cup of hot tea and steep.

It's also great for cinnamon rolls and spiced nuts. Additionally, you likely already have all the spices in your pantry! For years, I thought chai was a proprietary blend for teas and that you can only get the chai flavor if you buy chai tea and steep it to use in recipes. That's why I was sad I couldn't make my own dirty chai lattes at home.
