Iced Chai Latte (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Tea Base
01 -
2 black tea bags (Darjeeling or Assam)
02 -
2 cups of water
→ Spices
03 -
1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom
04 -
1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
05 -
1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
06 -
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
→ Others
07 -
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean
08 -
1 cup of milk (can be plant-based or regular)
09 -
Ice cubes
10 -
2 tablespoons of honey
# Instructions:
01 -
Boil the water with the tea and spices mixed in. Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes so the flavors blend together.
02 -
Turn off the heat and add honey and vanilla extract. Stir until the honey fully dissolves. If you're using a vanilla pod, take it out now along with the tea bags.
03 -
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. If you're in a rush, just set it in an ice bath to chill faster.
04 -
Use a milk frother to froth your milk, or seal it in a jar and shake hard. A whisk works too if you'd rather warm it slightly first.
05 -
Fill up a glass with ice, pour in the cooled tea until it's two-thirds full, and top it off with the frothed milk. Add the vanilla extract here if you skipped the bean earlier.
# Notes:
01 -
You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Feel free to play around with spice levels to suit your taste buds.
