I’ve been making and baking with chai for a while now. Surprisingly, chai is very easy to make from scratch. It can also be as expensive (or inexpensive) as you want to make it. But, more than anything, it’s incredibly rewarding to do from start to finish. The enjoyment of crushing and infusing the ingredients, the visually stimulating beauty of the spices and the exhilarating aroma literally makes blending and cooking with chai a rewarding experience.
