Cardamom Cinnamon Turmeric Iced Tea
Cardamom Cinnamon Turmeric Iced Tea blends brewed chai-spiced tea with turmeric-spiced coconut milk. The chai tea is made with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and sweetened with sugar and maple syrup. The turmeric milk includes coconut milk, turmeric, cinnamon, and sugar, warmed to meld flavors. Served over ice, this tea offers warm spice notes combined with the earthiness of turmeric in a refreshing cold drink.

- 1/2 tsp ginger grated
- 2 tbsp sugar raw sugar, coconut sugar or other sweetener, or more
- 1 tbsp maple syrup

- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp sugar raw or coconut or other sweetener

Instructions
- Add all the tea ingredients to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes. Strain and set aside. Once cool, taste and adjust sweet and spice to preference. Chill until ready to serve.
- Mix the coconut milk with turmeric, cinnamon and sugar. You can also heat the milk to a boil to incorporate the turmeric and flavors better. Cool and chill until ready to serve.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes in tall glasses (2 to 3 glasses depending on size).
- Pour tea into the glasses to fill three quarters of the way.
- Pour the turmeric milk in slowly. Serve immediately. This tea also tastes amazing with just coconut milk(without added turmeric)
Notes
- Add rum to the tea for an alcoholic variation by mixing it in after brewing.
- To adjust flavor, try using only cardamom, cinnamon, or vanilla extract instead of the full chai spice blend.
