Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz Chai Tea Concentrate (or 2 chai tea bags steeped strongly)
- 6 oz Milk (dairy, oat, or almond recommended)
- 1 to 2 Tbsp Vanilla Syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp Sweetener (sugar or simple syrup, optional)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
- If using tea bags, steep two chai tea bags in 4 oz of hot water for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove bags and let the strong tea cool slightly.
- In a tall glass, combine the cooled chai tea (or concentrate) and the vanilla syrup. Add the optional sweetener if you prefer a sweeter drink. Stir well.
- Fill the glass completely with ice cubes.
- Pour the milk over the ice and chai mixture.
- Stir the drink gently until all ingredients are mixed and the drink is cold. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a stronger spice flavor, use a concentrate made with whole spices like cardamom and cinnamon sticks rather than powder.
- If you do not have vanilla syrup, mix 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract with 1 tablespoon of simple syrup.
- Oat milk provides the creamiest texture similar to whole milk in coffee shops.
- To reduce dilution, use less ice or chill the chai concentrate before mixing.
