Cool down without compromising flavor — our iced karak chai is a chilled twist on the classic Pakistani favorite.

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

Boil Water

Once the water is boiling, add 4 tablespoons of black tea leaves, 4 whole cardamom pods, and 1 piece of cinnamon stick. Stir well.

Add Tea and Spices

Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

Simmer

Add 4 tablespoons of sugar to the pot, stirring until completely dissolved.

Sweeten the Chai

Pour in 1 cup of evaporated milk and stir well. Allow the chai to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Add Evaporated Milk

Remove from heat and strain the chai through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher to remove the tea leaves and spices.

Strain the Chai

Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes (about 1 cup of ice per glass).

Prepare Glasses

Divide the strained chai mixture evenly between the two glasses over the ice.

Pour Chai

Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon and cardamom powder on top of each glass. Add fresh mint leaves for garnish if desired.

Garnish

Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, and enjoy your refreshing iced karak chai!
