Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 - 3 tablespoons vanilla simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ½ cup chai concentrate
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Milk
- 8 - 12 ounces milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
Optional Garnish
- Chai spice blend, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a tall glass, combine 1 to 3 tablespoons of vanilla simple syrup with ½ cup of chai concentrate. If desired, add ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the vanilla flavor. Stir well to blend the flavors thoroughly.
- Add Ice and Milk: Fill the glass with a generous scoop of ice to chill the drink. Then pour in 8 to 12 ounces of your preferred milk. Using less milk will result in a stronger, spicier chai flavor, while more milk will create a creamier, milder latte experience.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of chai spice blend over the top for an aromatic finishing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your iced vanilla chai latte.
Notes
- Adjust the vanilla simple syrup quantity to suit your sweetness preference.
- Chai concentrate can be homemade or store-bought.
- Use any milk type including dairy, almond, oat, soy, or coconut based on your preference or dietary needs.
- The optional vanilla extract enhances vanilla notes but can be omitted if not available.
- Add a pinch of chai spices (cinnamon, cardamom, cloves) for extra aroma and flavor if desired.
