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!
