Step 1
Bring some water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it’s boiling, add the tea leaves along with vanilla extract, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. Take the pan off the heat, cover it, and let everything steep for about 15 minutes so the flavors really come through.
Step 2
Strain the tea through a fine mesh sieve to get rid of the leaves and spices. Stir in the sugar while the tea is still warm, making sure it dissolves completely. Let the tea cool down, then pop it in the fridge to chill for a couple of hours.
Step 3
When you’re ready to serve, fill your glasses with crushed ice and pour the chilled tea over it. Finish by adding a splash of half-and-half on top for a creamy, delicious touch. Enjoy!
Simple Serving Suggestions
Serve in tall glasses with plenty of ice for a cooling effect. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a slice of lime for a fresh twist. It pairs well with light snacks like spring rolls or fresh fruit.
Leftover Tips
Store any leftover tea in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Use within 2 days for the best taste. Stir well before serving again, as ingredients may settle or separate over time.
