Plan two styles of drink
Offer something hot such as cardamom tea and something cold such as hibiscus. Decide whether a milk-based option should be milk tea or spiced milk before browsing the drinks collection.
Serve tea hot
Use black tea for a plain base or cardamom tea for a distinctive aroma. Brew a small batch first to test the strength, then scale it up. Keep sugar on the side and place cups where guests can refill them easily.
Make a cold drink ahead
Prepare hibiscus as directed on the pack, then strain, chill and sweeten to taste. Add ice to individual glasses. Passion fruit tea can also be brewed and chilled for a fruity option. Label the jugs when serving more than one.
When to serve golden milk
Choose golden milk blend for spiced milk. It includes turmeric, ginger and cinnamon. Follow the pack quantities and stir to distribute the blend. Use separate jugs and utensils for milk drinks and plain tea. Make the cold drink ahead and prepare the hot one nearer serving time.
