Iced Chai/Espresso Latte image

All the caffeine of espresso with the flavor of chai :) Use 2 tea bags for an extra strong flavor. I like to top with whipped cream and sprinkled cinnamon or drizzled honey. Tip: If you don't have an espresso machine and use regular strength coffee, you can vary the recipe as follows: 1) brew coffee; 2) place tea bags & sugar in hot coffee to soak and place in the refrigerator to chill; 3) mix with half n half.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -2 chai tea teabags
2 tablespoons ground coffee
2 -3 teaspoons sugar or 2 -3 teaspoons honey
4 -5 ice cubes
5 -8 ounces 2% low-fat milk (at least 2% milkfat!)

Steps:

  • Cut open the tea bags and place in the bottom of the filter cup for your espresso machine.
  • Place the coffee on top of the tea leaves (straining the espresso over the chai gives it the strongest flavor).
  • Brew the espresso and mix in the sugar while it is still hot.
  • Pour into a 12 ounce glass and quickly stir in 4-5 ice cubes until the side of the glass feels chilled.
  • Fill to the top with milk.
