A handful of ice cubes
→ Spices

→ Tea Base
09 -
2 cups of water
10 -
2 teabags of black tea (like Darjeeling or Assam)
# Instructions:
01 -
Steep the teabags along with spices in simmering water for about 5 minutes, letting all the flavors mix together.
02 -
Take the pot off the heat, stir in honey and vanilla, and give it a good mix until the honey dissolves. Take out the teabags and vanilla bean if you’ve used it.
03 -
Let the chai sit until it hits room temperature. To speed things up, use an ice bath to chill it faster.
04 -
Froth the milk with a frother or shake it up in a sealed jar. You could also slightly warm the milk and whisk it for that frothy texture.
05 -
Fill your glass with some ice, pour the cooled chai about two-thirds of the way up, and top it off with your frothy milk. Add vanilla essence here if that’s what you’re using.
# Notes:
