Homemade Instant Turmeric Chai Tea

Gluten-free | Sugar-free | Dairy-free | Vegan-friendly | Anti-inflammatory 

Makes: enough for 30 serves

Not only is turmeric chai delicious, but the health benefits of turmeric are tremendous! This is why I'm enjoying 2-3 cups of my delicious Instant Turmeric Chai Tea daily.  

My recipe is super easy to make and yields enough blend for up to 30 serves. I always keep a mix on hand in an airtight jar in my cupboard.  

My Turmeric Chai Tea is wonderfully creamy and beautifully spiced, ensuring the flavour of delicious chai is layered and well-pronounced. And the best part? It's free of gluten, sugar, and dairy, making it a super-healthy brew.  

It's ideal for the mornings or even as a wind-down in the evenings. Either way, the more turmeric you get into your daily routine, the better!
