Step-by-Step Instructions for Iced Raspberry Vanilla Chai
- Brew two cups of chai tea using either tea bags or loose-leaf chai steeped in boiling water for about five minutes. Let it cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
- Blend half a cup of fresh raspberries with one teaspoon of honey or sugar until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve for a seedless finish.
- Once the chai tea is chilled, pour it into a tall glass. Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract and the raspberry puree, and gently stir.
- Drop in a handful of ice cubes into the glass and let them sit as they slowly melt.
- Slowly pour in half a cup of milk over the top of the drink, creating a lovely soft swirling pattern.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and a light dusting of cinnamon just before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Ensure chai is completely chilled before assembly. Adjust sweetness with honey or sugar based on raspberry ripeness.
