Franken Chai

Black Chai Blend by Custom

This is the ends of several loose leaf chai samples along with about an ounce or two of another loose leaf chai. I don’t really have any idea of proportions, and I don’t even want to list which ones are in there because—- IT IS ALIVE - and ever evolving as I add other chais to it and use some up.

ChOTD…..

This one is interesting….it is essentially a catch-all tin for anything chai-ish. It started with about 1 or 2 ounces of Adagio Thai Chai, the end of my Adagio Masala Chai sample, the end of my Naturally Flavored Cinnamon Tea sample from Upton, And the ends of my Tropical Chai and Hearthside Chai samples. I decided to make this tin my Franken Chai, because I can just keep adding things, using some up, and it will evolve into its own type of chai, no matter how perfect, or imperfect. Now, I keep thinking of things I could add…..

My cuppa today…. tastes a little more lemongrassy than I would like (that would be from the Adagio Thai Chai). I think I will try less chai mix next time…

ChOTD….

I added some chocolate tea to this mix to mellow it out a little. It is much better. Right now, I only have this mix (just over 4 ounces worth) and the Tipu Chai, so there are now only two choices. This will be my last log of this one until I get some new chais! (I do have enough for one more try of Harney’s Indian Spice, though!)

ChOTD…..

I am going to miss this one when it is gone. I have a feeling the reason I like it so much is the amount of chocolate tea in there…… yum! Trying to preserve this mix at least until the end of the tin before I go adding more.

Prepped by the usual pan method.

ChOTD…..

Finally, we are at a mix that is really good. Perfect level of spice. Never will this be able to be duplicated…..so I will just enjoy. By the time I finished adding things, I have just over 4 ounces. My tin is full!

Made up in the usual pan method with two heaping perfect teaspoons of chai.
