Ingredients

Scale

Beverage

  • 1/2 cup concentrated chai
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Ice, to fill glass
  • 12 tablespoons apple brown sugar syrup (optional)

Apple Crisp Cream Topping

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon milk (preferably whole or 2%)
  • 2 teaspoons apple brown sugar syrup

Instructions

  1. Chill Whisk and Bowl: Place a small bowl and whisk in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to prepare for whipping the cream mixture.
  2. Make Apple Crisp Cream: In the cold bowl, combine heavy cream, milk, and apple brown sugar syrup. Whisk carefully until the mixture is thick and creamy; avoid warming the bowl with your hands to maintain cold temperature for better whipping.
  3. Chill Cream Mixture: Return the whipped cream mixture to the freezer to chill while you prepare the chai latte. Before serving, whisk again to achieve a consistency similar to melted ice cream.
  4. Prepare Chai Latte: In a 16 fluid ounce or larger cup, combine the chai tea concentrate with milk. Optionally, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of apple brown sugar syrup for extra sweetness and apple flavor.
  5. Add Ice: Fill the cup with ice, leaving about half an inch of space at the top to accommodate the cream topping.
  6. Top with Apple Crisp Cream: Slowly pour the chilled apple crisp cream over the iced chai latte, forming a creamy layer on top.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the cream for added warmth and spice. Serve immediately and enjoy your iced apple crisp cream chai.

Notes

  • For best results, keep the whisk and bowl very cold to achieve a thick and creamy apple crisp cream topping.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of apple brown sugar syrup in the drink and the cream.
  • Use whole milk or 2% milk for a richer texture in the apple crisp cream; skim milk is not recommended.
  • Optional ground cinnamon adds a lovely finishing touch and enhances the chai spices.
  • Use a tall glass (16 oz or larger) to properly layer the iced chai and cream topping.
