Cold Coffee and Chai Delights: What to Try at CupsnChai
traditional cold beverages

When it comes to beating the heat, few things satisfy more than a chilled, flavorful drink. While iced coffee and cold tea are classics, many cultures around the world have added their own twist to these traditional cold beverages, bringing unique flavors, textures, and styles to the table. At CupsnChai, a haven for chai lovers and coffee aficionados alike, we celebrate the rich history and diverse flavors of cold coffee and chai. Whether you’re looking for a cool, creamy beverage to energize you during a busy afternoon or a spiced concoction to awaken your senses, we’ve got you covered with an array of delightful choices. Let’s dive into what makes cold coffee and chai drinks at CupsnChai so special.

1. Iced Cold Brew Coffee: A Smooth and Refreshing Classic 

Cold brew coffee has become a modern favorite for coffee lovers, and it’s easy to see why. At CupsnChai, our iced cold brew coffee is a smooth, rich, and naturally less acidic alternative to regular iced coffee. Made by steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in cold water for an extended period (12-24 hours), this method results in a flavorful, mellow coffee that’s perfect for sipping. 

Why Try Iced Cold Brew at CupsnChai? 

The beauty of cold brew lies in its mellow, smooth flavor. By steeping the coffee grounds in cold water, the brew retains less bitterness than traditional hot-brewed coffee. We serve our cold brew over ice, and you can customize it with your choice of milk, from whole to almond or oat milk, making it a creamy, satisfying experience. 

For an added twist, we offer the option to blend our cold brew with vanilla or caramel syrups for a hint of sweetness. Whether you’re looking for a pure, bold coffee experience or a creamy treat, our cold brew coffee can be tailored to your preference.

2. Iced Chai Latte: Spices and Sweetness in Every Sip 

No visit to CupsnChai would be complete without trying our signature Iced Chai Latte. This delightful drink blends traditional Indian spices—like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves—with a rich, spiced tea base. Combined with milk (or your preferred dairy alternative), it creates a cold, creamy beverage that’s both invigorating and indulgent. 

The Magic of Masala Chai 

Masala chai, or spiced tea, is a beloved staple of South Asian culture. Traditionally, it’s made by brewing strong black tea with a mixture of aromatic spices, sugar, and milk. When served cold, the spices come alive with the creamy milk, creating a perfect balance of sweetness, warmth, and refreshing coolness. 

At CupsnChai, we’ve mastered the art of iced chai lattes, making them the ideal summer drink for those who enjoy a spicy kick. With the option to customize sweetness levels, this drink can range from bold and spicy to smooth and lightly sweet, allowing you to personalize your iced chai experience.

3. Iced Coffee with Cardamom: A Fusion of Flavors 

If you’re a fan of bold coffee flavors but want to experiment with something a bit more exotic, our Iced Coffee with Cardamom is the perfect blend of familiar and unique. Cardamom, a key ingredient in many South Asian drinks, adds a fragrant, slightly sweet, and earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with the robust taste of coffee. 

What Makes Cardamom So Special? 

Cardamom is often used in masala chai to enhance the flavor profile with its aromatic sweetness. When combined with coffee, it creates a unique fusion that’s aromatic, bold, and just a little bit sweet. At CupsnChai, we make this drink by infusing freshly brewed coffee with cardamom syrup, then serving it over ice and adding your choice of milk. It’s the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and refreshing, making it an ideal option for those who crave something beyond the ordinary.

4. Iced Filter Coffee: A South Indian Delight 

For those who prefer strong coffee with a rich, velvety texture, our Iced Filter Coffee is a must-try. Filter coffee is a quintessential South Indian drink that’s made by slowly brewing coffee beans through a traditional drip filter, resulting in a strong, flavorful coffee concentrate. This concentrate is then mixed with milk and served over ice to create a cold beverage that’s both strong and smooth. 

A Taste of South India 

In South India, filter coffee is a ritual. The slow brewing process extracts all the deep, complex flavors of the coffee, creating a robust and satisfying drink. At CupsnChai, we bring the authentic experience of South Indian filter coffee to the chilled beverage world by serving it iced, providing a refreshing yet strong coffee experience. Served with or without sugar, it’s the perfect drink for those who appreciate the bold, deep flavor of traditional coffee.

5. Iced Masala Chai with Coconut Milk: A Tropical Twist 

For a truly unique take on iced chai, we recommend trying our Iced Masala Chai with Coconut Milk. While traditional masala chai is made with regular milk, coconut milk gives it a creamy, slightly sweet, and tropical flair that’s perfect for the summer months. 

Why Coconut Milk Works Wonders 

Coconut milk’s subtle sweetness complements the bold spices of masala chai, creating a smooth, indulgent drink that’s not too heavy. The rich flavor of the coconut milk balances the spices, making this iced chai a refreshing treat with a slight creamy twist. It’s the perfect option for anyone looking to experience a new twist on the classic iced chai, especially if you're looking for a dairy-free alternative.

6. Cold Brew Chai: The Best of Both Worlds 

For those who can’t choose between coffee and chai, we’ve created the perfect fusion: Cold Brew Chai. This innovative drink combines the best of both worlds, blending the bold, rich flavor of cold brew coffee with the aromatic spices of masala chai. The result is a refreshing, unique drink that delivers the caffeine punch of coffee alongside the spiced sweetness of chai. 

A Bold New Take 

At CupsnChai, we take our cold brew coffee and infuse it with chai spices, then serve it over ice with milk or a non-dairy alternative. The smoothness of the cold brew combined with the warm, earthy spices of the chai makes for a wonderfully balanced drink that’s both comforting and energizing. It’s the perfect choice for anyone looking to try something new and exciting.

7. Iced Rose Latte: Floral and Refreshing 

For those who enjoy a more delicate flavor profile, the Iced Rose Latte is a must-try. This drink combines the smoothness of iced coffee or chai with the floral, fragrant notes of rose syrup. It’s light, refreshing, and a perfect balance of sweet and floral, making it ideal for those hot summer days when you need something a bit different. 

Why You’ll Love It 

Rose flavoring adds a lovely, delicate floral note that pairs wonderfully with the richness of coffee or chai. The combination of floral sweetness with the slight bitterness of coffee or spices of chai creates a balanced, refreshing drink that feels elegant yet easy to enjoy. It’s the perfect drink for anyone looking for a bit of floral sophistication in their chilled beverages.
