A very nice mix. I used it to make Chai Smoothie #150956. We also enjoy it as a hot tea. It's a keeper. Thanks Joanie Grow. Bullwinkle.

I really enjoyed this drink. I have never had Chai before - so don't know how it compares to others - but I did like this drink! It has a wonderful aroma! I did find I needed to use 3 Tbl. of the mix to get a strong enough flavor.
