Instructions
Brew the Spiced Chai
Place both chai tea bags and ground cinnamon in a heatproof pitcher and pour boiling water over them. Steep for 5 minutes to extract the full depth of spice flavors, then remove the tea bags and stir in honey while the tea is still hot to fully dissolve it.
Cool and Add Lemon
Allow the spiced chai to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until fully chilled. Once chilled, add fresh lemon juice to the tea and stir well to integrate the citrus with the warm spice notes.
Serve Over Ice
Fill two tall glasses generously with ice cubes and pour the spiced chai lemonade over the ice. Stir gently and optionally garnish with a cinnamon stick and a thin lemon wheel on the rim of each glass.
