This Iced Chai Latte Starbucks Recipe is made with chai tea bags, milk and sweetener of your choice, ice, water and whipped cream.

This was one of my favorite drinks to get at Starbucks growing up. This can rack up your debts though, so in effort to minimize expenses, I decided to experiment and make it myself.  It is absolutely delicious, light, and you can personalize it with your favorite milk or sweetener. This chai is brewed fresh. This drink is one of my favorite things to sip on during the summer when it’s hot out. If you prefer to make this hot, just don’t add ice. It is so good either way and you will love it. Chai means tea in Hindi, which is where this word same from. India came up with their own black tea, which we know as chai.

There are many variations to this Chai Latte, the best part is you can make it exactly the way you like it. I have seen many people use different spices in the water when steeping the tea bags, like cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and star anise. This recipe is all made from scratch and sweetened exactly the way you like it.

Hint: If you would like to add sweetener, add it into the chai when steeping. You can use stevia, sugar, honey or maple syrup.

Substitutions

Water: Use filtered water for this recipe.

Milk: I love using whole milk for this recipe, but you can use different levels of dairy. If you are vegan or prefer no dairy, try using oat milk, cashew milk or almond milk.

Chai: I used the chai tea bags from Tazo, but feel free to use any brand you prefer. I like to steep them overnight. You could even make a huge batch, keep in the refrigerator, and use that throughout the week.

Sweetener: This is totally optional, but if you would like to add sweetener, add it into the chai when steeping. You can use stevia, sugar, honey or maple syrup.
