[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had anyone made their own powdered instant chai mix? (Sacrilege, I  know) I'm trying to help my dad switch from using a mix he really likes,  but has 27g sugar/ serving.  Previously, no luck on switching him (long term) to making chai concentrate.  [/quote]

If you’re willing to invest in whole spices and loose black tea, absolutely. I make my own every day (although I am not Indian, and I don’t claim it’s authentic), but I have done it in advance in larger quantities. I like this type of grinder: https://www.westelm.com/products/frieling-cast-iron-spice-gr-e2842/?catalogId=71&sku=9601375&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Kitchen%20%26%20Dining%20%3E%20Tools%20%26%20Utensils&region_id=477340&cm_ite=9601375_14465514686&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4PiZs6O4_AIVBL_ICh07SQ_6EAQYAyABEgJHEfD_BwE

For a 40 oz pot, I grind about 15-20 peppercorns, six cardamom pods, four cloves, one whole piece of star anise, and about one-third of stick of cinnamon, then I add this to about a tablespoon of loose black tea, like Assam. (This spice blend was inspired by Teaism, for those who like their chai.) I steep it in hot water, then add whole milk and sugar when I pour a cup (again—not authentic!).

Good luck converting your dad!
