What greater gift than Instant Chai Recipe in a cute jar with a ribbon around it. Some of your friends may not be used to drinking anything other than plain hot tea. Gifting one (or all) of these instant chai recipes is a way to introduce great teas from around the world to your family. Here we have three for you: Afghan Chai, Masala Chai, and Sheer Chai.

We are using saffron from Burlap & Barrel spice company. We have an affiliate relationship with them so if you buy their delicious spices you help support this channel. You can buy the saffron and other spices here.

Again, you’ve seen lots of chai on this channel but chai just means tea. You don’t have to say chai tea. Just tea. Chai tea is tea tea. Heh.
