Iced Dirty Chai Latte
This iced dirty chai latte sweet and spicy aroma combined with freshly brewed espresso and topped with vanilla cold foam makes it the perfect pick-me up drink.
Ingredients
Dirty Chai Latte
- 2 bags Chai tea
- ½ cup Water
- 1-2) shots Espresso (I use 2)
- 6 oz Oat milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoon Vanilla syrup (store bought)
- 1-2 cups Ice cubes
Vanilla Cinnamon Cold Foam
- 2 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon Oat milk
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon Cinnamon (+ more for topping)
Instructions
- Start by steeping the chai tea bags in half cup of hot water. You can either boil some water or quickly microwave the water for 90 seconds - add tea bags and set aside to steep for five minutes.
- Next brew one or two shots of espresso
- In a tall glass add ice cubes, chai tea, espresso and vanilla syrup. Pour in oat milk or milk of choice and give it a stir.
Vanilla cold foam
- In a small glass add 2 tablespoon of milk, 2 tablespoon of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup and cinnamon. Froth using a handheld frother or electric hand mixer for about 30 seconds or until the consistency has a foamy thick texture.
- Pour vanilla cold foam over the iced dirty chai latte and sprinkle more cinnamon on top and enjoy!
Notes
For the vanilla cold foam
You can substitute milk of choice here, however the results in consistency will vary. You can omit both milks and use half and half instead. To make it dairy-free you can use 4oz of extra creamy nut milks/barista milks instead.
Sweetener for the dirty chai latte - don't have vanilla syrup? you can use cane sugar and brown brown sugar or sweetener of choice.
