Easy peasy Iced Chai Latte

Servings: 2 glasses
Time: 10 minutes + cooling

Ingredients

• 3 teaspoons ZEST Chai of the Tiger 

• 300 ml water
  

• 200 ml whole milk (or oat milk/almond milk for dairy-free)

• Ice cubes

• 1,2 teaspoons honey, agave, or maple syrup 

Instructions

1. Bloom the spices:
   In a small saucepan, bring the water to a simmer. Add the chai spice mix. Simmer gently for 3,4 minutes to release the oils and aroma.

2. Sweeten:
   Stir in honey, agave, or maple syrup while the mixture is warm so it dissolves evenly.

3. Cool the concentrate:
   Remove from heat, let it cool to room temperature, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. Chill in the fridge (10,15 minutes if you’re in a hurry).

4. Assemble:
   Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chai concentrate halfway up the glass. Top with cold milk and stir well.

5. Optional barista finish:
   Froth a small amount of milk and spoon it on top for a creamy layer, then dust with a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom.

✨ Pro Tip:
Make a double batch of the chai concentrate and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. That way you can pour an iced latte instantly whenever you like.
