CHOCOLATE CHAI COFFEE MIX
I was craving Starbucks® chocolate chai tea latte when I made this. It is not a copycat recipe, simply tasty and easy. International Delight® 'Sweet Cream' is fabulous in this, if you like sweet coffee. Cardamom gives it the slight licorice taste; if you omit it, that's fine too.

- 2. Use 2 1/2 Tablespoons of mix per 12-14 oz of very hot water. Let steep for a minute or two before drinking. If you can't find black tea powder, just brew a cup of black tea and add 2 rounded tbsp of mix into the tea, stirring well. I like 3 heaping tablespoons in my cup.

CHOCOLATE CHAI MIX
Steps:
- Peel the skin from the ginger and discard. Shave the ginger into thin strips with the peeler, and lay the peels on a baking sheet with space in between for air to circulate. Scrub the oranges under water and dry them thoroughly. Moving clockwise, peel from top to bottom so you are left with several strips. Lay the peeled rind on a pan with space in between for air to circulate. Leave the pans out overnight in a warm place, if possible, like the top of an oven or a radiator. In 12-24 hours the peels should be dry and flexible. If they're not, give them a little more time, or put them in the oven at 200F° for 15-30 minutes. Set the dehydrated orange rind aside. Put the cocoa powder in a large bowl, and set a sifter or fine mesh strainer on top. Using a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder, grind the ginger, cardamom, fennel, black pepper, coriander, nutmeg, and allspice. Work in batches, pouring each into the sifter as you finish. When all of the spices are ground, sift them into the cocoa, using your fingers to push the spices through if necessary. Discard the bits of husk and seed left over in the strainer. Sift in the cloves and cinnamon. Stir the spices into the cocoa, and portion the chai mix into containers. Press a whole star anise, a bay leaf, and a few pieces of the orange rind into the top of each container and seal tightly. To serve, put a large spoonful of chocolate chai in a cup and stir in hot water, milk, and sweetener of choice. Yield: about 10 cups (fills 8 1¼ cup tea tins)

Tips:
- Choose high-quality spices: Using fresh, whole spices will result in a more flavorful chai mix. Look for spices that are brightly colored and have a strong aroma.
- Roast the spices before grinding: Roasting the spices before grinding will enhance their flavor and aroma. You can roast them in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes, or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
- Use a fine grind: For the best flavor, use a fine grind for your spices. This will allow them to release their flavor more easily when steeped in water or milk.
- Store the chai mix in an airtight container: To preserve the flavor and aroma of your chai mix, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
- Experiment with different spices: Feel free to experiment with different spices to create your own unique chai mix. Some popular additions include ginger, cardamom, cloves, and star anise.
