Chai Iced Latte Recipe (Spiced Creamy Tea Drink)

Chai Iced Latte Recipe Spiced Creamy Tea Drink

Ingredients
  

For the Chai Concentrate:

cups water

black tea bags (or 4 tablespoons loose black tea)

cinnamon sticks

whole green cardamom pods, crushed

whole cloves

inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced

tablespoons sweetener (honey, sugar, or maple syrup), to taste

For the Iced Latte:

cup whole milk (or any milk alternative)

Ice cubes

Ground cinnamon or nutmeg, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

1. Prepare the Chai Concentrate: In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the black tea bags, cinnamon sticks, crushed cardamom, cloves, and sliced ginger. Reduce heat to low and let steep for 10 minutes.

    2. Sweeten: After steeping, remove the tea bags and spices. Stir in the sweetener of your choice (adjust to taste) until dissolved. Let the chai cool to room temperature or refrigerate for a faster cooling process.

      3. Assemble the Iced Latte: In a tall glass, fill halfway with ice cubes. Pour in about 1 cup of the chai concentrate, followed by 1/4 cup of milk. Stir gently to combine.

        4. Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for an extra touch of spice. Serve immediately and enjoy the layered flavors!

          Notes:

            Milk Options: Feel free to use oat, almond, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.

              Sugar Alternatives: Agave syrup and stevia can also be great options for those watching their sugar intake.

                Chai Variants: Experiment with adding vanilla extract or a splash of whiskey for an adult twist!
