If you’re craving a drink that combines creamy sweetness, a touch of spice, and the perfect chilled refreshment, this 7-Brew-inspired Iced Horchata recipe is here to satisfy! It’s simple to make at home and tastes like a sweet café indulgence.
Ingredients
- 2 pumps vanilla syrup (extra for added sweetness)
- 8 oz chai tea latte (pre-made or steeped chai tea concentrate)
- 8 oz oat milk (or any milk of your choice)
- Ice (enough to fill your cup)
- Cold foam (see recipe below)
- Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare Your Glass
- Start by selecting your favorite 16 oz glass or tumbler.
- Drizzle 2 pumps of vanilla syrup into the glass. This extra sweetness will enhance the flavor of the chai and mimic a horchata’s rich, sweet base.
2. Add Chai Tea Latte
- Pour 8 oz of chai tea latte into the glass. If you’re using a chai concentrate, mix it with water according to the package instructions before adding it to the glass.
- Stir lightly to combine the vanilla syrup with the chai.
3. Pour in Oat Milk
- Gently add 8 oz of oat milk to the glass. The creamy oat milk balances the spices in the chai, giving the drink that signature horchata-like texture.
4. Fill with Ice
- Add enough ice to fill the glass to the brim. Ice ensures your drink stays chilled and refreshing while maintaining its flavor.
5. Make the Cold Foam
- In a milk frother or blender, froth 2–3 oz of oat milk until it becomes light and airy. For an extra vanilla twist, add a splash of vanilla syrup before frothing.
- The cold foam should be thick enough to sit on top of the drink without immediately sinking.
6. Top with Cold Foam
- Gently spoon the cold foam onto the iced chai and oat milk mixture. Let it cascade over the ice for a visually stunning layered effect.
7. Sprinkle Cinnamon
- Finish by sprinkling a pinch of ground cinnamon over the cold foam. This not only enhances the presentation but also provides a classic horchata flavor note.
Tips for the Perfect Iced Horchata
- Custom Sweetness: Adjust the vanilla syrup to your taste—add more or less depending on how sweet you like it.
- Vegan-Friendly: Ensure your chai concentrate and cold foam ingredients are dairy-free for a fully vegan treat.
- Cinnamon Sugar: Mix a pinch of sugar with the cinnamon for an even sweeter topping.
Sip and enjoy your homemade Iced Horchata, 7-Brew style! It’s perfect for a cozy afternoon or as a special treat anytime.
