Ingredients

4 pumps Chai syrup (approximately 1 oz or 30 ml)
8 oz (240 ml) oatmilk
1 tbsp apple brown sugar syrup
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Ice cubes (enough to fill your glass)

Instructions

Prepare the Chai Base:

Start by selecting your favorite glass or tumbler, preferably one that can hold 16 fl oz (about 470 ml).
Measure out 4 pumps of Chai syrup (approximately 1 oz or 30 ml). If you don’t have a pump, this is roughly 2 tablespoons.
Pour the Chai syrup directly into the bottom of the glass. This will serve as the flavorful base for your latte, infusing the drink with its warm, spiced essence.

Pour in the Oatmilk:

Next, grab your oatmilk—make sure it’s well-shaken to evenly distribute any natural separation.
Slowly pour 8 oz (240 ml) of oatmilk over the Chai syrup in the glass. The oatmilk should fill about two-thirds of the glass, leaving room for ice and foam.
As you pour, you’ll notice the Chai syrup starting to mix with the oatmilk, creating a beautiful swirl of rich color.

Add Ice:

Now it’s time to cool things down. Take a handful of ice cubes and gently add them to the glass. Fill the glass to about three-quarters full, or more if you prefer a chilled drink.

Make the Apple Crisp Cream Cold Foam:

In a small mixing bowl or measuring cup, combine 1 tbsp of apple brown sugar syrup, 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract. These ingredients will create the signature apple crisp flavor that elevates the drink.
To this mixture, add 1/4 cup of oatmilk. This will form the base for your cold foam.
Use a handheld milk frother or blender to froth the mixture. Start frothing on low speed and gradually increase to high. It should take about 1-2 minutes to achieve a thick, creamy consistency. The foam should be light, airy, and able to hold its shape for a bit when spooned onto the drink.

Top the Drink:

Carefully spoon the freshly made apple crisp cream cold foam over the iced Chai oatmilk mixture. The foam should sit lightly on top, creating a layered effect that looks as good as it tastes.
If you want, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top for garnish, adding a final touch of spice.

Enjoy:

Your Chai Apple Crisp Iced Latte is ready! Give it a gentle stir if you prefer a more blended flavor, or sip through the layers to enjoy each distinct taste.
Take a moment to savor the delightful combination of spicy Chai, creamy oatmilk, and the sweet, spiced apple crisp foam. It’s a perfect, refreshing drink that brings the cozy flavors of fall right to your cup.

This Chai Apple Crisp Iced Latte is a deliciously indulgent way to enjoy the season. Whether you’re making it as a treat for yourself or impressing guests, it’s sure to become a favorite!
