Ingredients

2 cups water: Boiled for brewing the chai tea.

Tips & Tricks

Making a Chai Tea Cooler Mocktail is super fun and easy! Here’s how to make yours extra special. 🥤

Use Fresh Spices: I love to use fresh spices for a rich flavor. Crush them right before use for that extra zing. 🌿
Chill Your Glasses: Before pouring the mocktail, I pop my glasses in the freezer for a bit. This keeps it nice and cold! ❄️

Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness to your taste. If you like it less sweet, you can cut down on sugar or use honey.

Pro Tip: Adding a squeeze of lemon juice can bring out more flavors! 🍋

Garnish Ideas: I often top my cooler with mint leaves or a slice of orange. It looks pretty and tastes great. 🍊

Feel free to experiment with different types of tea. Green, white, or herbal teas can give your mocktail a unique twist.

Using crushed ice instead of ice cubes can make sipping more fun and refreshing. Keep sharing your creative variations in the comments below. I can’t wait to see what you come up with! 🙌
