Iced Chai Tea Latte

Our chai tea latte recipe has become one of the most popular recipes here on Snacks and Sips which got me thinking about other version of it for you guys to enjoy.  One of the best that I came up with was a recipe for an iced chai tea latte! Now this is essentially the same as the normally version except you have to let it chill for a bit so that it doesn’t immediately melt all of the ice in the glass.  The great part is you can make it ahead of time and really customize the recipe to make it work for you.  You can easily double or even triple the recipe or add more or less sweetener depending on your preference.  If you want to jazz it up, you can always add a bit of whipped cream and even a drizzle of caramel sauce, white chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

Common questions about making an iced chai tea latte

What is a chai latte made of?

Chai lattes are usually made with water, milk, and black tea with chai spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, ginger, cloves, and star anise.  Most chai tea bags will some variation of those spices in it so as long as you get that type of tea, you should be good.  Sometimes chai tea bags will have additional flavors in it such as vanilla listed.

Do chai lattes have caffeine in them?

Yes, chai lattes have caffeine in them since they are made with black tea leaves.

How much sugar is in an iced chai tea latte?

Usually chai tea lattes from places like Starbucks are pretty sweet but if you make it home, you can adjust the amount of sugar in the drink.  If you want just a lightly sweetened tea then only use about 1-2 teaspoons honey, adding more to taste.  Alternatively, you can use a different sweetener that fits into your diet better than honey but fair warning, that may effect the taste.

Are chai lattes dairy-free?

This iced chai tea latte recipe can be made dairy-free by using a dairy-free milk such as

• Soy
• Almond
• Oat
• Coconut
• Cashew

These will each impact the taste a bit so I usually try to use the most neutral tasting non-dairy milk.
