What is chai made of?

Chai is made with a mixture of spices, including cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, star anise and cloves. There are lots of different variations, some will include fennel, black pepper or coriander. Use the mix you like the most.

Does chai contain caffeine?

Chai does contain caffeine, but about a third of that compared to a regular coffee. You won’t get that kick that you would expect from your morning cup of coffee, but, you will have a longer boost of energy. The caffeine is released more slowly, so you will feel more energized without being hyperactive.

What’s the best milk to use?

Most milks work really well in this iced chai tea latte recipe. Dairy milks will give it a creamier and richer flavor, and you can use almond, soy or oat to keep this vegan and dairy-free.

Tips!

  • You can make this into a warm drink by simply adding the milk to the chai tea when it is still warm, and skipping the ice.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute the granulated sweetener for honey or maple syrup.
  • Make this iced chai tea latte when you are ready to drink it. If made too far ahead of tie, the ice will melt and dilute the drink.
