Origins of Chai
Masala chai is a creamy, spiced tea that’s most popular in India but is now enjoyed around the world. The spices used vary depending on the recipe, but common ones include cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and ginger.
Our vegan chai-spiced coffee creamer takes inspiration from the undeniably delicious and spicy flavors of masala chai. For a more authentic chai recipe and to learn more about this delicious Indian tea, see this video from Bhavna’s Kitchen.

Cooking method
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Transfer to an airtight container or bottle. Shake before using to distribute the spices.
- Perfect in hot or iced coffee or steeped black tea. We like ~3 ½ Tbsp creamer for an 8-oz. coffee. This creamer froths like a dream if you use a milk frother! Leftover creamer keeps for 4-5 days in the refrigerator, or can be frozen in an ice cube tray for easy chai-spiced iced coffee!
