Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 venti (24 ounces / 710 milliliters) chai tea latte (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup oatmilk (or milk of choice)
Sweeteners and Sauces:
- 2 pumps brown sugar syrup
- 2 pumps white chocolate mocha sauce
- Caramel sauce
Toppings:

Instructions
- Craft the chai base by brewing a concentrated tea or using a store-bought concentrate, ensuring a robust flavor foundation that serves as the drink’s core.
- Create a flavor symphony by incorporating brown sugar syrup and white chocolate mocha sauce, gently stirring to harmonize the sweet and rich undertones.
- Enhance the beverage’s texture and creaminess by introducing oatmilk, blending it thoroughly to achieve a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Transform the cup’s interior by artfully coating the sides with caramel sauce, which will infuse each sip with a luxurious, buttery essence.
- Whip up a delicate vanilla sweet cream cold foam using a combination of vanilla syrup and heavy cream or oat milk, carefully layering it atop the chai mixture to create a cloud-like crown.
- Elevate the drink’s visual and gustatory appeal by drizzling additional caramel sauce over the cold foam and sprinkling caramel crunch topping, providing a delightful textural contrast and a final flourish of sweetness.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed chai tea or high-quality concentrate for a more authentic, robust flavor profile.
- Experiment with syrup ratios to customize sweetness without overwhelming the chai’s natural spice notes.
- Swap oatmilk for almond, soy, or coconut milk to accommodate different dietary preferences and create unique taste variations.
- Ensure cold foam is light and airy by using chilled cream and frothing at high speed for a luxurious, cloud-like topping.
