"Cause a little bit of summer is what the whole year is all about"
-John Mayer
Summer has arrived, and so has the heat. While we still need to fill our universe with positive vibrations, and wake up the healthy way, our chai doesn’t have to be piping hot, like it was in the cold winter. Here are a few easy ways to make an iced chai latte at home, without unhealthy syrups. All of our chais contain natural spices that are grown sustainably. Although you we suggest using Mummyji’s Masala Chai for this, you can also try Om Chai, Vanilla Chai, or Kama Sutra Chai. You can also brew a non caffeinated iced chai latte with our Belly Dancer Chai. These recipes are quick brews that can be ready to consume in about 20 mins. We will be releasing our slow brew methods in the coming weeks. There is two ways to make this delicious summer treat, the traditional Indian way in a sauce pan, or with our authentic chai tea bags, that have the same great flavour but none of the pesky clean up. Both ways will have you in flavour country, sending cooling vibrations through your body.
