Chai Latte Blend
| I love the holidays. People are happy and share plenty of joy and cheer. I especially love the drinks that come out only during Christmas. Egg Nog, Orange Wassail, Peppermint Cocoa and my personal favorite Chai Lattes. Mmn. I have been dreaming of a Chai Latte Flavor since probably Halloween. The best thing about this blend is that it doubles as a flavor and fragrance blend! In my spare time I have tested and fidgeted with ideas and samples. I made so many samples it drove me crazy! The test vials littered my desk, the kitchen and even my purse. Honestly, I sweated bullets over this thing. However, I persevered and at last I achieved a successful and desirable result! Yea!
I hope you can all test and enjoy this wonderful blend. To make the Chai Latte Blend I used: 6 parts Black Pepper Essential Oil 6 parts Coriander Essential Oil 10 parts Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil 6 parts Clove Leaf Essential Oil 6 parts Chinese Star Anise Essential Oil 25 parts Natural Vanilla Oil I converted the parts into grams and made a batch of this Chai Latte blend. Tomorrow I will cover making a Chai Latte Lip Balm. Yum! (P.S. For all of you Chai Latte lovers now you can have great lips, all the flavor and best of all, no calories! What a score!) I was personally surprised at what ended up in this blend. Anise? In Chai?! No way! Black pepper. Can’t be. Too savory. Coriander? Ok, I guess. Before this project I thought of Chai containing Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, and Ginger. Alas, we do not have nutmeg or ginger essential oils. (Not yet anyway.) So I had to be creative. I was surprised at how similar this blend is to the local coffee shop’s Chai Lattes. I even went around town test Chai Lattes then my blend. Wow! It was like I had concentrated what was in my cup! For all of the spice and chai lovers this is a must try! I would love to hear what you want to see this Chai Latte Blend made into. Lip gloss, creams, let me know and we will feature it!

Sounds good enough to eat! I’m tempted to try this in a lip balm. Yum!
I recently purchased all the essential oils with the intentions of making a Chi Tea soap. I have not made yet as I was missing the black pepper which I believe I ordered last week. I am happy to see the recipes and will attempt the soap within the next week or so. I also will try the lip balm too. Your mix sounds wonderful. I never realized that pepper was a big part of the chi flavoring either. I also bought some coffee EO that I am anxious to try in a coffee soap. I typically like the fruit and herb blends but thought I might like some of the foody scents too.

You have done a fantastic job with this kitten! I have enjoyed following her progress. Congratulations!
Oops! Meant to post the kitten comment under the latest blog post. The Chai Latte is impressive also and I will try it out!
what benefits dose this oil have health wise?
I am not sure of the health benefits that this blend has. It was formulated to scent reasons, not for health reasons.
Best,
Taylor
