Chai Syrup

Chai Bella Drink

Method

Chai Syrup Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Chai Syrup

    In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Tea and Spices

    Once the sugar is dissolved, add 4 tablespoons of black tea leaves, 6 cardamom pods, 1 cinnamon stick, and 2 tablespoons of sliced fresh ginger into the saucepan.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Syrup

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. The longer you simmer, the stronger the flavor will be.

  4. 4

    Strain the Syrup

    After simmering, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle to remove the solids. Allow it to cool before using.

Chai Bella Drink Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of the prepared chai syrup and 1 cup of fresh orange juice. Stir well to mix.

  2. 6

    Add Ginger Ale

    Slowly pour in 2 cups of ginger ale to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine without losing the fizz.

  3. 7

    Serve the Drink

    Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the chai mixture over the ice. Garnish with orange slices.
