Iced chai

Chai is a traditional beverage originating from India, known for its harmonious blend of black tea and aromatic spices. In different regions of Latin America, this type of infusion has been adapted to local tastes and goes by various names, such as "spiced tea" or "tea with spices." Besides being a comforting drink, chai has a history dating back centuries of tradition and wellness rituals.

In countries like Mexico, the consumption of iced chai has become popular, especially during warm seasons, while in other places, such as Argentina or Colombia, similar variants are known with personal touches in the spice blend. This versatility of chai reflects the cultural richness and the influence of different ways of preparing tea around the world.
