Ingredients
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1 chai tea bag
- 1 tablespoon gingerbread syrup
- 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice
- Ice cubes
- Cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of oat milk, 1 chai tea bag, 1 tablespoon of gingerbread syrup, 1 tablespoon of honey or your preferred sweetener, ice cubes, and cinnamon for garnish.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium heat.
- Once the water is boiling, add the chai tea bag and let it steep for about 5 minutes to extract the flavors.
- While the tea is steeping, prepare your serving glass by filling it with ice cubes to chill your latte.
- After the tea has steeped, remove the tea bag and stir in the gingerbread syrup and honey (or sweetener) until fully dissolved.
- Pour the chai tea mixture over the ice-filled glass, allowing it to cool slightly.
- In a separate container, froth the oat milk using a milk frother, whisk, or by shaking it vigorously in a sealed jar until it becomes light and airy.
- Slowly pour the frothed oat milk over the chai tea mixture in the glass, creating a beautiful layered effect.
- To finish, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for garnish, adding a warm spice aroma to your iced latte.
- Enjoy your homemade Iced Gingerbread Oat Milk Chai Tea Latte!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality chai tea bags for the most robust flavor profile
- Ensure your oat milk is cold before frothing for the best texture
- For extra richness, try using a flavored oat milk like vanilla
- If you don't have a milk frother, a mason jar with a tight lid works great for creating foam
- Adjust sweetness to taste - some gingerbread syrups are sweeter than others
- Chill your glass beforehand for an extra-cool drinking experience
- Experiment with different sweeteners like maple syrup or agave for unique flavor variations
