Golden Chai Mix for Turmeric Chai Latte

The Golden Chai Mix is a blend of turmeric with warming spices like cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, ginger, and optional saffron. This mix can be stored and used to prepare turmeric chai latte by heating it with non-dairy milk and sweetener. It can also be transformed into chilled turmeric iced tea or a creamy golden chai shake, providing flexible ways to enjoy the distinctive earthy and mildly spicy flavor of turmeric chai.
