My apologies for my lapse in posting the past couple days. It’s been a whirlwind with the holidays and preparing to move. In fact, today marks the beginning of the big move to Ohio! One week to move everything into the new place, unpack, and get situated before my new job starts on January 12th.

And do you know what the weather forecast for Columbus, OH is today? A steamy high of 18 degrees! What a stark contrast to my move to Memphis, TN where it was 115 degrees the day I moved there. Of course that was in August not January, but still a fun fact to note.

With the bitter cold, driving most of the day and unloading the truck, a warm cup of tea may be in order. Hopefully I will be able unpack some apparatus in order to warm water to do so. Conveniently I recently made this instant vanilla chai mix.

Homemade Vanilla Chai Mix Ingredients:

• instant tea powder
• sugar
• milk powder
• powdered creamer
• vanilla powdered creamer
• spices (ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, allspice)

It smells as wonderful as it tastes and makes a great gift during both cold and warm months. Honestly, who doesn’t love chai year round? Heck I’ll drink it warm no matter the temperature. Or you can use it baked into a sweet treat like a chai apple cake! or blend it into a homemade chai hot cocoa mix!
