Herbal Coolers & Coffee Alternatives

Brew your herbal tea as you normally would, this picture show about a 750ml of hot water with one of each of the teabags in but you can add more teabags if you prefer a stronger brew.
Then add the amount of milk you would usually use to taste and leave the milky chai out on the side to cool. Once cooled I transfer the liquid (with a funnel) to a glass bottle with a lid and keep it in the door of the fridge.
The malay chai/rooibos combo works really well with hazelnut milk as this type of milk is lovely and sweet and you don't need to add in any extra sugar if you have a sweet tooth.
This makes an excellent alternative to coffee in the morning in this hot weather when drunk cold straight from the fridge. I use an insulated glass as not only does it keep our drinks hot in winter but it does a great job of keeping our drinks cool in the summer too ! (star anise added - just because it is soooo pretty !!).
Simply make up a batch of herbal tea in the usual way, I tend to make about a litre batch each time as I have litre size glass bottles that fit in my fridge door. Leave it to cool on the side then pour the tea into your glass bottle or jug with any chopped fruits and spices that you fancy. Leave your cooler in the fridge overnight if you like a stronger flavour or drink right away with ice if you can't wait.
If it is a herb or fruity type of herbal tea that you are making you can leave the teabags in overnight for maximum flavour but if it is black, green or white tea I would take the tea bag out after your preferred brew time as it may turn bitter if you leave the tea bags in for a long time.
