Homemade Chai Tea Latte

If you already love the traditional Indian chai tea latte recipe, this delicious spicy and sweet drink. Then you won't be able to resist this copycat Starbucks iced chai tea latte version.

The iced chai latte is a very popular drink for its slightly spicy chai tea flavor and is served with ice cubes. It is made of black tea concentrate infused with masala chai spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and cloves.

The warm spices are sweetened with natural sugar such as maple syrup or honey to which we also add milk, such as dairy milk or plant-based milk, which brings a creamy and softer texture.

The iced chai latte is very easy to make at home and as good as the one you can buy in coffee shops. First of all, we prepare a chai tea concentrate with chai tea bags or black tea bags with some spices.

Then serve it in a tall glass of ice cubes or in a chai latte frappe with crushed ice. And in addition to the multiple benefits of spices for the body, it is perfect for refreshing during the hot summer days.

Composition of the Iced Chai Latte Recipe

Chai concentrate: As in the chai lattes regular recipes, a chai tea concentrate is made with only black tea bags and infused with masala spices like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper, cloves and other more intense spices.

Milk: You can use cow's milk or if like me you prefer dairy free milk like, oat milk, coconut milk or try my homemade almond milk recipe ready in just 10 minutes.

Ice cubes: Use large ice cubes or for a chai tea latte frappe version you can use crushed ice by blending the ice cubes in a blender.

Sugar and vanilla: Essential to sweeten the taste of spices and tea and to flavor your drink. I use a natural sugar like maple syrup that you can replace with honey or the sugar of your choice.
