The dirty chai latte is a popular coffee shop drink that combines a shot of espresso with a chai latte. There are many variations on this drink, usually involving changing up the mix of chai spices or the type of milk. But all the combinations end up giving you something between a regular latte and a chai tea latte, with the same mildly bitter undertones.
Our dirty chai recipe is a hot drink, but it can also be served cold by serving it over ice or blending it with ice. Feel free to also prepare the coffee or tea cold, for a more potent iced dirty chai. To make your drink, simply prepare and blend the ingredients listen below. This recipe requires:
- 1 cup of chai tea (prepared with water or milk)
