  • Add sugar if wanted.
  • Strain into a cup.

For the hot summer days, when you are just in the mood for an iced chai, we recommend a Rose and Cardamom Iced Tea. This aromatic tea recipe can be made by either preparing a concentrate without milk or storing it in the refrigerator to batch the tea and add milk and ice when you are ready. You can also make the rose cardamom chai based on the recipe above; let it cool and chill in the fridge for 6-8 hours. It's a wonderful, refreshing, and aromatic option on hot days.
