Vanilla Chai Spiced Latte Mix

Hey Jordan, you can omit the sugar and/or vanilla sugar from the mix if you'd like and add it to taste when making each cup of chai latte. Alternatively, several people have tried adjusting the sugar, and it still turns out delicious, so feel free to experiment and find what suits your taste best! We imagine reducing it by ½ to 1⁄3 cup is a good start, you can always add more if needed 🤗

Reduced the sugar by 1/2 a cup and it was perfect! Very comforting. Thanks again!

Hey there, Hawke, thanks for your interest in the homemade chai spice latte mix! We use a basic brand of instant coffee from our local grocery store. If your general brands don't quite hit the spot, you could try looking for a high-quality freeze-dried instant coffee, as these tend to have a smoother taste 🤗

Hey Sarah! Thanks for your interest in the chai latte spice mix 🫶 you could omit the coffee granules. We've also heard a positive review from Diana who used finely chopped chocolate pieces instead for a chocolatey twist 🙌

Yayy we hope you love the the autumn drink spice mix, Emma!

So glad that the chai latte spice mix was enjoyed, Eldrid! Thank you 🫶✨

Yayy so happy to hear the homemade chai latte recipe is being enjoyed, Marie, thank you 🙌✨

Yayy so glad you're enjoying the mix, Dalia, and thanks for sharing your experience with it 🙂

Aw we're so happy to hear, Charlotte! We have some exciting instant mix recipes coming in the future that we can't wait to share 🤗

That sounds amazing! Can't wait! 🙌🏻

So happy that the latte was enjoyed, B! We hope you love it with the vanilla beans as well 🤗

Hey there, Lydia, you can omit the sugar and vanilla sugar from the mix in that case if you'd like! You could add some vanilla bean powder instead. This helps it keep shelf-stable, but it doesn't dissolve into the drink quite as nicely. You could also add some scraped vanilla bean or vanilla extract, but because that adds moisture, the storage time would be reduced significantly.

Hey Virginie, thanks so much for taking the time to share, indeed this was an issue on our end. We'll be measuring and updating the gram amount of the instant coffee granules shortly. Thanks so much for helping us improve what we do!

Hey there, Dana, aw thanks for gifting the latte mix! We're so honoured the recipe was part of the festivities. We double-checked our instant granules' weight and were off by a bit. It's now been updated in the recipe. Our instant coffee granules weigh 62-66 grams per cup which aligns with other nutrition databases. Is there any chance you're weighing coffee beans or a denser coffee mixture? In any case, you're welcome to add more instant coffee if you'd like 😃

Hey Ingrid, I appreciate your feedback. The amount of sugar in this recipe is designed to replicate the sweet, indulgent flavor often found in café-style lattes, which many people enjoy. But taste preferences vary, and it's absolutely fine to adjust the sugar level to suit your own :)

Hey Rachel, we're disappointed to hear although we appreciate the honest review. Fresh spices provide more potent flavour in case the spices you had on hand may have been a bit older. Adding more of the mix can also strengthen the flavour when it's in milk. We're glad you found a variation you enjoyed though, thanks for taking the time to share 💛 and happy holidays!

Aw we're so happy to hear, Remco, and hope the Christmas gifts are enjoyed! 😃

A huge compliment, Ingrid, thank you! Excited to continue this adventure together 🤗✨

Aw thanks so much for the lovely review, Shai! Sending lots of love to Florida 🤗

I love to travel ✈️, food is my love language 😋 and my favorite flower is the tulip 🌷. Maybe one of these days I can come to the Netherlands and cook with you all! 😊

So thrilled you're enjoying the mix, Stephanie! Oat milk and boiling water are great choices for a lighter texture. Adding a cinnamon stick is a delightful touch too 🥰

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the mix, Aubrey! ☺️

So thrilled to hear you and your spouse enjoyed it, Franziska! What a lovely idea to share the joy with family and friends through homemade gifts. Mixing it into oatmeal sounds like a delightful experiment too 🥰

Thank you so much for your heartfelt message! It's incredible to hear that you've been sharing the joy of our recipes with your loved ones and even creating thoughtful gifts like the chai latte mix. Your support means the world, and we're sending lots of love back to you in Italy. Merry Christmas and happy cooking, Federica! ❤️

Thrilled to hear you found it easy and incredible! Nothing beats a homemade pick-me-up. Sending lots of energy and love to you, Amanda 😊💛

Hey there, Diana, you could simply omit the coffee granules. You can also experiment with a chocolate version by replacing the instant coffee with finely chopped chocolate. Alternatively, if you have our app, we have a recipe for a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Mix you may also consider trying: https://www.pickuplimes.com/r… 😊

Thanks so much! I've tried it with just some "milk choc bits" that we had in the house - we used about the same amount as coffee in the original recipe and it was di-vine! Maybe a bit sweet, so might reduce the sugar in the next trial but can definitely recommend to try it! I'm off to the store to get some more ingredients to make another for a friend. We also made 2 gifts of these with the coffee for friends this Christmas and they loved them! 😍 Thanks PUL team!

Hey Sherrie, we're so disappointed to hear! Did you substitute any of the ingredients by any chance? We strive for 5-star recipes so we'd love to get to the bottom of it ✨

Yay! So happy to hear, Zala, thank you 😊
