RECIPE : chai spice mix

we made this video last year, and the recipe is in my new vegan cookbook !

this chai spice mix is so lovely in autumn and winter, served on a cup of hot oat milk, as an early-morning or late-night treat. but it’s of course also delicious on porridge and in smoothies too, or why not try it on your banana pancakes ?

these pics are from the cookbook, and as you can see, the chai spice is sharing a spread with my chili and orange coated sesame mix – yum ! both are part of the from scratch chapter of the book.
