5 from 24 reviews

A refreshing and creamy iced chai tea latte topped with a luscious vanilla sweet cream cold foam, perfect for a delightful and cool treat with warm spices and smooth vanilla flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Chai Latte

  • 1/2 cup chai tea concentrate
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup ice

Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon milk (preferably 2% or whole)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla syrup

Garnish

  • Ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam: Whisk together the vanilla syrup, heavy cream, and milk for 1-2 minutes. For best results, use a cold bowl and whisk that have been chilled in the freezer for a few minutes. Set aside. For thicker foam, return the bowl with the cold foam to the freezer for one minute, then whisk again or use an electric milk frother on the cold setting.
  2. Combine Chai and Milk: Pour the chai tea concentrate and milk into a cup that holds at least 16 ounces. Add the ice, leaving room at the top for the cold foam.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Slowly pour the vanilla sweet cream cold foam over the chai tea latte. To achieve a layered effect, pour the cream onto an ice cube to prevent it from mixing immediately with the drink.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of the cold foam to enhance the flavor and presentation. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Using cold utensils for whisking helps create a thicker cold foam.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and cream with plant-based alternatives and adjust whisking method accordingly.
  • If chai tea concentrate is unavailable, brew strong chai tea and reduce it to concentrate by simmering.
  • Vanilla syrup can be homemade or store-bought, adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor of the cold foam.
