Ingredients
Scale
1 chai tea bag or 2 tsp loose leaf chai
4 oz boiling water
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tbsp raspberry syrup (see notes for homemade)
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla syrup
1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Steep the chai tea bag or loose leaf tea in 4 oz of boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea. Let the brewed chai cool slightly.
In a shaker or tall glass, combine the cooled chai tea, milk, raspberry syrup, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes to the glass or shaker.
If using a shaker, seal it and shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy. If using a glass, stir well to combine and chill.
Pour the mixture into your serving glass if you used a shaker.
Serve immediately.
Notes
To make homemade raspberry syrup: Combine 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Simmer until the berries break down, about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Cool before using.
Adjust the amount of raspberry syrup and vanilla to match your preferred sweetness level.
For a stronger chai flavor, use 6 oz of brewed chai concentrate instead of brewing a single bag.
