  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Tea Base

  • 1 cup strong brewed chai tea (chilled)

Raspberry Puree

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (or raspberry puree)
  • 1-2 tsp honey or sugar (adjust to taste)

Flavorings

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Milk and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional garnish: fresh raspberries or a star anise/cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Brew the Chai: Steep 2 chai tea bags or 2 teaspoons of loose-leaf chai in 1 cup of hot water for about 5 minutes. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Alternatively, if using chai concentrate, dilute it with cold water and stir thoroughly to make 1 cup of strong, cold chai tea.
  2. Prepare the Raspberry Puree: Blend the raspberries together with honey or sugar until smooth. To facilitate blending, you may add a small amount of cold chai tea. For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired.
  3. Mix the Latte Base: In a small pitcher or bowl, combine the chilled chai tea, vanilla extract, and raspberry puree. Stir well to thoroughly incorporate the flavors.
  4. Add Ice and Milk: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes and pour the raspberry chai mixture over them. Slowly add the milk on top to create a visually appealing swirl effect.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Enhance the drink by garnishing with fresh raspberries or a star anise/cinnamon stick. Stir gently before drinking and enjoy the refreshing and flavorful iced chai latte.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or sugar added to the raspberry puree.
  • For a vegan or dairy-free option, substitute regular milk with almond, oat, soy, or any preferred plant-based milk.
  • Use fresh raspberries during raspberry season for the best flavor, or frozen raspberries as a convenient year-round alternative.
  • Straining the raspberry puree is optional, depending on your texture preference.
  • The vanilla extract enhances the warm spice notes of the chai and complements the raspberry’s tartness beautifully.
  • Chilling the chai tea before mixing ensures the drink stays cold and refreshing without diluting flavors.
