This sweet Chai Simple Syrup adds warm spices to cocktails, pancakes, desserts, and hot drinks. Made with chai tea, it's super easy to make!
This Chai Simple Syrup came about because I was making kombucha, and I wanted a chai flavor. It can also be used in coffee, tea, and desserts.
It is sweet from brown sugar with warming chai spices. Made with chai tea bags, it couldn't be any easier!
If you like the warming flavor of chai spice, try some Chai Overnight Oats or Chai Chia Pudding.
You could also make your own Chai Spice Mix to add to baked goods.
