Ingredients
Scale
Tea Concentrate
- 1 bag chai tea
- 1/2 cup hot water (about 175°F)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (or to taste)
Assembly
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Steep the Tea: Add the chai tea bag, hot water, and granulated sugar into a small bowl. Let the tea steep and the sugar dissolve by sitting for five minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse fully.
- Chill the Tea: After steeping, stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove the tea bag and transfer the chai tea concentrate to the refrigerator to chill for five minutes, enhancing its refreshing quality.
- Prepare the Iced Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the chilled chai tea concentrate over the ice, then top with your choice of milk to create a smooth and creamy iced chai latte. Stir gently before serving to blend the flavors.
Notes
- You can adjust the sugar amount to your desired sweetness or substitute with honey or a sugar alternative.
- Use your favorite milk, such as almond, oat, soy, or traditional dairy milk, to customize the flavor and creaminess.
- For a stronger chai flavor, steep the tea bag longer before chilling.
- Make sure the water is hot but not boiling around 175°F to avoid bitterness.
- This recipe scales easily; simply multiply the ingredients for more servings.
