The festival of Holi is celebrated with a lot of excitement, colours and togetherness. So why not steep teas of different colors and enjoy this festival even more.

Bhang Masala Chai- Make your masala chai a little bit more fun with just a dash of bhang in it. Mix bhang paste with milk. Add water to boil and add your spices like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom etc. Then add sugar and tea leaves. Add the bhang mixture and boil for a few more minutes. Enjoy! 

Tea Cocktails- Enjoy your Holi party with some tea cocktails made from your favorite black teas, green teas, oolong teas or even Tisanes. Make your tea concoctions in advance and give your guests the liberty to add their favorite liquor to the tea mixture and enjoy! 

After an entire day of festivities, when we are tired, a nice cup of tea will make you feel invigorated and bring back your excitement- a cup of tea for the soul ! 

Blue Pea- will give you a beautiful blue colour and purple if you add a dash of lemon or soda to it
