# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Gently spoon your choice of milk on top of the tea in the glass so it settles in its own layer. Go ahead and stir it together before sipping.
02 -
Fill up each glass with ice. Leave enough room so you can add the tea and milk without spills.
03 -
Let the tea cool down on the counter for a bit. Then pop it in the fridge until it's nice and cold.
04 -
Strain out everything solid so you're just left with smooth tea.
05 -
Mix in sugar and keep stirring until there aren’t any gritty bits left.
06 -
Boil water in a pot, then turn the heat off. Toss in the tea mix, star anise, and cardamom pod. Let it soak for a few minutes, longer if you want it stronger.
