How to Make an Iced Vanilla Chai Tea Latte

One great thing about this easy vanilla iced chai latte is that you don’t even need chai tea bags or a long wait time. All you need is an ice-filled glass, chai tea concentrate, and your milk of choice. If you are unable to get these items at the grocery stores, don’t worry, you can easily order them online.  This is what we are using for this recipe:

  • 4 oz chai tea concentrate
  • 4 oz frothed milk

You will also need a milk frother. We like this simple handheld frother here: milk frother. If you choose not to froth the milk, the recipe will resemble more like a cold brew-type drink than a latte. It is still a delicious drink, just slightly different.

Chai Tea Concentrate

This recipe uses the TAZO chai tea concentrate. It is a black tea concentrate made with black tea, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, star anise, sugar, honey, and vanilla extract. You are welcome to make your own chai concentrate if you are up to it. I’m sure homemade chai concentrate is amazing, but this packaged tazo chai concentrate makes things so incredibly easy. Rumor has it that the Starbucks chai concentrate is actually this Tazo concentrate! 

Frothing the Milk

Pour 2 to 4 oz of milk into a frothing pitcher, like this one here: frothing pitcher. Then use a handheld milk frother to froth the milk. This incorporates air into the milk making it light and foamy.

How to Make the Perfect Drink

First, fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Then pour 4oz of chai tea concentrate into the glass.

Next, carefully pour the milk over the spiced tea drink. We like to let the milk go in first and save the frothy foam for the top. This also creates a gorgeous layered look to the drink.

Then finish the drink with the remainder of the milk, leaving the froth for the top.

FAQs and Recipe Variations

The best thing about making this homemade version of an iced vanilla chai latte recipe is the flexibility to customize the drink however you like. Here are a few options and answers to possible questions:

  • Which milk can I use for this recipe: we use oat milk because it is the same milk used in the Starbucks version. You can use any kind of milk that you like. Opt for any plant-based milk, like unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or soy milk. You can also use regular dairy milk, like whole milk or skim. 
  • What if I want a stronger chai flavor? If you prefer a stronger chai flavor then I would try using only a little milk, maybe 2 oz as opposed to 4 oz. 
  • Should I add vanilla syrup or vanilla extract to this recipe? The Tazo chai concentrate already has vanilla extract in it, so you don’t have to. add any more. But, if you want a bit more vanilla flavor you certainly can.
  • Can I add sweetener to my chai latte? Again, the chai concentrate is already sweetened, but if you prefer a sweeter taste then maple syrup, brown sugar, or honey simple syrup are great options. 
  • Can I use this chai tea concentrate to make a hot latte? You sure can! Simply warm the chai concentrate and add your milk of choice. 
  • How much caffeine is in this chai latte recipe? According to the Tazo website, the caffeine level is 61+mg
