Ingredients Needed
- Tazo Chai Tea Concentrate
This concentrate gives your drink that warm, spiced chai flavor. Tazo’s blend typically includes black tea and spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves. It’s a little sweet but not overpowering, making it a perfect base for chai drinks. Since it’s already brewed and sweetened, it’s super convenient and easy to mix into your iced drinks. - Oat Milk
Oat milk is a great non-dairy option, especially for a creamy drink like this. It’s thicker than some other plant-based milks and has a subtle sweetness that pairs really well with the spices in chai. Plus, oat milk froths nicely if you want to add some foam to your iced chai. - Apple Crisp Syrup
This syrup gives the drink that cozy fall flavor. It’s sweet with hints of apples, cinnamon, and maybe a little brown sugar. It brings in that “apple pie” taste, which blends perfectly with the spices in the chai and the creaminess of the oat milk. You can either buy apple crisp syrup or make your own with apple juice, sugar, and spices simmered down into a syrup.
