How to Make Iced Chai
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.
- Add 4 black tea bags, 1 inch piece of grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cinnamon stick, and 2 bay leaves to the boiling water.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy) during the last 2 minutes of simmering.
- Stir in 2-4 tablespoons of honey (or to taste).
- Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 3 minutes.
- Strain the chai through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices.
- Allow the chai to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
- Serve over ice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.
