Follow these steps to make a refreshing, cafe-style Iced Vanilla Chai Latte at home using chai concentrate and vanilla syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz Chai Concentrate (or 2 chai tea bags steeped strongly)
  • 1 oz Vanilla Syrup
  • 6 oz Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. If using tea bags, steep two chai tea bags in 4 ounces of hot water for 5 minutes to create a strong concentrate. Remove tea bags.
  2. In a tall glass, combine the 4 ounces of chai concentrate and 1 ounce of vanilla syrup. Stir briefly.
  3. Fill the glass completely with ice cubes.
  4. Pour 6 ounces of your chosen milk over the ice and concentrate mixture.
  5. Stir well until the drink is thoroughly chilled and the ingredients are mixed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a stronger spice flavor, use a concentrate that has a higher spice-to-tea ratio.
  • Adjust the vanilla syrup amount based on your preferred sweetness level. Start with half an ounce and add more if needed.
  • You can substitute almond milk or oat milk for dairy milk for a dairy-free iced vanilla chai.
  • To achieve a colder drink faster, you can shake the concentrate, syrup, and milk together in a cocktail shaker before pouring over ice.
