Ingredients

- 2 chai tea bags
- 1 cup boiling water
Syrup
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 6 tbsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Serving
- Ice for serving
- Oat milk for topping
Instructions
- Steep Chai Tea: Steep the chai tea bags in 1 cup of boiling water for 10 minutes to extract a rich, flavorful base.
- Make Cinnamon Syrup: In a small pot, combine 4 tablespoons brown sugar, 6 tablespoons water, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Whisk the mixture and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly.
- Combine Syrup and Tea: Stir 2 tablespoons of the warm cinnamon syrup into the steeped chai tea to sweeten and enhance the spice flavor.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill serving glasses with ice cubes to chill the latte.
- Assemble Latte: Pour the chai and syrup mixture over the ice, then top each glass with a splash of oat milk to add creaminess and balance the spices.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of cinnamon syrup added to the tea.
- For a stronger chai flavor, steep the tea bags longer or use more tea bags.
- Oat milk is used for a creamy texture, but you can substitute with almond, soy, or dairy milk if preferred.
- The cinnamon syrup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Add a pinch of ground nutmeg or cardamom to the syrup for additional warming spices.
