Frozen Chai Tea Latte Recipe

FROZEN AND BREWED

1. 1

   Brew chai base

   In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Remove from heat, add 2 chai tea bags and 0.25 tsp ground ginger, 0.25 tsp ground cardamom, and 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon. Steep for 5–7 minutes, then remove the tea bags. Let the chai concentrate cool to room temperature.

2. 2

   Sweeten and chill

   Stir in 1.5 cups milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Warm gently until just steaming, then remove from heat and allow to cool. Refrigerate until cold (at least 15 minutes).

3. 3

   Blend with ice

   To a blender, add the chilled chai mixture and 2 cups ice cubes. Blend on high until smooth and frosty. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again.

4. 4

   Adjust and serve

   Taste the frozen chai and adjust sweetness if needed. If too thick, add more milk; if too thin, add more ice and blend again.

5. 5

   Garnish and serve

   Pour into two glasses. Top with whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon (garnish).
