Ingredients
  

For Chai Concentrate (Iced Chai)

  • 4 black tea bags or 4 teaspoons loose leaf black tea, chai-flavored or plain.
  • 1 quart cold water.
  • Note: You can use 0.5 cup of store-bought chai concentrate to save time.

For Honey Syrup (Optional)

  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.5 cup water

For One Iced Chai Latte Serving

  • 0.75 cup 180 ml chilled Chai Concentrate (prepared beforehand).
  • 0.5 cup 120 ml cold milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, or cold almond milk work best for texture and flavor).
  • 1 to 3 teaspoons of Honey Syrup adjust for sweetness.
  • Ice
  • A sprinkle of ground cinnamon or chai spice blend for garnish optional.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Chai Concentrate (Cold-Steep Method)

  • Cold Steep: Combine the tea (bags or loose leaf) with 1 quart of cold water in a pitcher or jar.
  • Infuse: Cover the pitcher and let it steep at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or up to 12 hours in the refrigerator. The longer the cold steep, the stronger and smoother the tea flavor will be, perfect for an Iced Chai Latte.
  • Store: Remove the tea bags (or strain the loose leaf tea). The concentrate is ready for immediate use, or it can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Step 2: Prepare the Honey Syrup (If needed)

  • Combine: Mix the honey and water in a small bowl. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds or on the stovetop until the honey is fully dissolved.
  • Cool: Let it cool, then cover and refrigerate. The honey syrup can be stored for about 1 week.

Step 3: Assemble the Iced Chai Latte

  • Sweeten: Place 1 to 3 teaspoons of honey syrup in the bottom of your glass (or use another sweetener like sugar or maple syrup).
  • Ice: Fill the glass completely with ice.
  • Add Liquid: Pour in the 0.75 cup of chilled Chai Concentrate.
  • Add Milk: Add the 0.5 cup of cold milk.
  • Mix and Serve: Stir the contents well to combine. You can add more milk or syrup to taste. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for a complete Iced Chai Latte.

Notes
