My homemade chai sugar is the perfect for topping oatmeal or porridge, blondies, buttered toast, and more! It's also great to stir into teas and lattes. To make it, simply add all of the ingredients to a container, shake, and use to your heart's desire!

Notes
Some ways to enjoy my chai sugar:
- In lattes and teas. I like swapping out regular sugar with chai sugar for extra flavor, especially for black tea.
- On bread! Try spreading softened butter onto bread, sprinkling on some chai sugar, then heating it up in a toaster oven or air fryer!
- Roll cookie dough balls in it right before baking.
- Sprinkle on top of oatmeal.
