A refreshing twist on traditional Indian tea, this Iced Masala Chai combines aromatic spices with black tea, cooled down with ice, perfect for hot summer days.
Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan.
Add black tea leaves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and ginger to the boiling water.
Allow the mixture to boil for another 5-7 minutes until the fragrance of the spices is strong.
Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
Remove from heat and strain the mixture into a pitcher.
Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.
Serve the chilled tea over ice cubes in glasses.
Garnish with mint leaves or a lemon slice if desired.
