Today Festive Foodies are celebrating Iced Tea for National Iced Tea Day! thank you Heather from Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks for hosting our event!
Iced tea refreshes us on the hottest of days. It’s a simple drink to customize any way you want. You can add fruit, sweetener, alcohol or drink it plain. Caffeine or decaf you pick.
Chai tea blends start with black, green or oolong tea and add warm spices to the mix. Spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, black pepper and cardamom enhance the health benefits from this delicious treat.

I love the taste!
For my Chai Tea Shushies, I left out the milk. Milk is usually served with Chai tea. You can add it if you like. Try mixing it up with almond milk, soy or rice milk. it will freeze a bit differently than plain tea without milk. Try it both ways and let me know what works best for you!
