How to Make Chai Iced Tea

  1. Chill glasses in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.
  2. Boil 4 cups of water. Steep 4 black tea bags (or 2 chai tea bags for a stronger chai flavor) in the hot water for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Remove tea bags and discard.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  5. Add 2 cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/2 cup of water, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
  7. Serve over ice in the chilled glasses.
  8. Garnish with 1-2 cinnamon sticks per glass, if desired.
