Chai Spice Icing Glaze

Hi Everyone, I have a secret mission to get Chai-related recipes on the blog. I love the flavor of Chai/Chai Spice in everything from teas, to lattes and desserts.

This Chai Spice Icing Glaze is a great addition to the tops of your holiday cookies as icing or a glaze over freshly baked quick bread.

I can see it as a way to level up French toast, cinnamon buns/rolls, sweetbreads, or a piece of cake and why not stir it to sweeten & spice up your coffee?

This recipe is vegan, there's no milk or cream as in a traditional glaze or icing. This recipe uses Chai tea! It uses 2-3 tablespoons to be exact, depending on how runny you want it.

For cookies, perhaps less so, for a quick bread use the full 3 tablespoons or more if you need it.

I show that you can use it to dress up your morning toast in the pictures in this post for a slice of toast that has a cinnamon bun flavor without the effort!

I use a simple lidded jar, like this old jam jar or a mason jar to keep it in.
