Recipe and instructions are included below for Hot Chai Latte, Cold Chai Latte, and Hot Chai Tea Latte using this chai spice mix recipe!
● 1 ½ Teaspoons Chai Spice Mix ● 8 Ounces Milk ● 1 Tablespoon Honey (or other sweetener)
Warm ingredients slowly in a pan over the stove. Once heated through, pour through a cheesecloth, if desired, and enjoy. To skip the stove, warm the milk and add all the ingredients to a blender and serve.
Cold Chai Latte Directions:
● 1 ½ Teaspoons Chai Spice Mix ● 8 Ounces Cold Milk ● 1 Tablespoon Honey (or other sweetener)
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend for 20 seconds. Pour into a cup and enjoy.
Hot Chai Tea Latte Directions:
● 1 ½ Teaspoons Chai Spice Mix ● 4 Ounces Milk ● 4 Ounces Hot Black Tea ● 1 Tablespoon Honey (or other sweetener)
Warm ingredients slowly in a pan over the stove. Once heated through, pour through a cheesecloth, if desired, and enjoy. To skip the stove, warm the milk and add all the ingredients to a blender and serve.
Tips:
● If you prefer one spice more over another, you can adjust the spice amounts to match your preferences. ● If you make the drink recipes, be sure to adjust the amount of spice mix and sweetener to suit your tastes. ● This tastes better the longer the spices get to sit in the liquid. The flavors truly shine their best if you blend or heat them over a stove when preparing. ● You can use one of those little handheld milk frothers in place of a blender as well, although I still find that the blender is still a bit better at it. ● You can make this recipe from whole spices and get an even more robust flavor out of it.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until fully combined.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry spot for up to 1 month.

Have you ever made Sun Tea? It’s my favourite way to enjoy iced tea in the summer! The taste of real brewed tea and endless flavour options is what gets me really excited about brewing a batch.
Sun Tea is a method of brewing tea slowly by using the heat of the sun to steep tea bags. I find it fascinating to watch the water in the glass jar slowly change colour as the sun works its magic on the tea bags. 🙂
Sun Tea is really easy to make and is very adaptable to your own personal flavour preferences.
Place in the direct sun for 3 – 5 hours, or until desired strength is reached. Remove tea bags.
Place in the fridge.
To serve: add sliced lemons, fresh mint, sweetener (honey, simple syrup, agave…etc.) if desired.
For the batch I brewed pictured below, I used 2 Ginger Peach tea bags and 6 Orange Pekoe tea bags. I added some of the Simple Syrup I featured the other day until I was happy with the sweetness. I think it tastes pretty darn good, but if I had some lemons on hand I would have added a few slices to make it perfect!
Love Everything Bagel Seasoning, but don’t love the cost of buying it at the store? Everything Bagel Seasoning is super easy to make at home and costs way less than buying it already made!
With just 6 ingredients, you can simply toss them together, and eat it on everything your heart desires.
Most of these ingredients are likely already in your pantry. Plus, you can tweak it to your personal taste.
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
Store in a sealed container, like a mason jar, in the pantry, for up to 2 months or more.
Tips:
If you can’t find black sesame seeds, you can swap them out for more white sesame seeds. They taste the same, it will just look a little different.
Be sure you use the black toasted sesame seeds as they sell an untoasted option as well. The toasted option is much better.
This recipe is easily cut in half or doubled to make as much as you need.
Be sure to give the seasoning a shake before you use it, as some of the smaller seasonings like to settle more to the bottom. It will give you a more even flavor.
Great as a snack topping!
Perfect for keto.
In conclusion, this is the BEST Everything Bagel Seasoning! It will be a favorite spice blend, perfect on toast, dips, soups – anywhere you want a little crunch.
We go through quite a few tortillas in our home. Between quesadillas, burritos, tacos, cream cheese & meat rollups and even pizzas, it feels like I’m always buying a pack of tortilla shells. That can really add up when a package costs $3 or more!
I knew it was possible to make homemade flour tortillas so I thought I’d try. Let me tell you, they are so easy to make and delicious! (Especially when you eat them when they’re still fresh and warm.)
Making homemade flour tortillas at home is really inexpensive and you most likely have everything in your pantry already. Flour, oil, baking powder and some salt. It will take a bit of time to cook your tortillas but it is still easy. If you think you will be making homemade flour tortillas regularly, you may want to consider purchasing a tortilla pressto make the process easier.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups Flour
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup Warm Water
DIRECTIONS
Step 1: Using a stand mixer, whisk dry ingredients until combined. Add water and oil and mix, scraping down the sides as needed until ball forms. Mix for two more minutes until dough is smooth.
Step 2: Turn out onto floured work surface and divide into 16 pieces and roll each into a ball. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Preheat skillet over medium heat.
Step 3: Roll out each ball into a 6″ circle.
Step 4: Cook each tortilla on first side for about a minute, until brown spots form, then flip and cook other side for about 20 seconds. (Or use a tortilla press.)
Stack cooked tortillas and wrap in a clean towel to cool.
If not being used immediately, store in a zip lock bag.
These homemade tortillas were so easy and so much better than store bought. I’ll be making these on a regular basis over here. They’re perfect for snacks and for meals. What do you use tortillas for in your house?
