Ingredients

2 cups sugar
4 bags chai (about ¼ cup loose leaf tea; see note)
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Pour a few tablespoons sugar and all the chai into a coffee grinder or food processor. Make sure the bowl is completely dry before you begin! (If using a food processor, you may have to use ¼ cup sugar to get the chai to process finely, as it has a larger bowl.)
Process the sugar and chai until the chai is ground finely. This process nearly "powders" the sugar, which is why you don't want to process all the sugar at once.
Pour the sugar/chai mixture into a bowl with the remaining sugar and all the spices. Whisk to combine.
Sugar can be used immediately, and will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to six months.
Enjoy!

Notes

Note on tea - If you don't have chai, prefer not to use it, or don't have a coffee grinder or food processor, you could choose to leave the tea out. Your sugar will have chai spices, just not the actual chai.
