Description
Iced Raspberry Vanilla Chai is a refreshing delight that combines the rich flavors of black tea with the sweetness of raspberries and vanilla.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons loose black tea or 4 black tea bags
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/4 cup vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the loose black tea or tea bags. Let steep for 5 minutes.
- Strain the tea into a pitcher and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once the tea is cool, add the almond milk and vanilla syrup to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
- In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries with a splash of water. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chai mixture over the ice.
- Drizzle the raspberry puree on top of each glass and gently stir to create a marbled effect.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, add more vanilla syrup to taste.
- Try substituting the raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
