Instructions

Chai Preparation

Start by boiling water and steeping two chai tea bags or loose-leaf chai in it for about five minutes. Once brewed, remove the tea bags and allow the chai to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the fridge. Let it chill for at least 10 minutes so it's refreshingly cold when served.

Raspberry Mixture

While the chai is chilling, blend half a cup of fresh raspberries with one teaspoon of honey or sugar until smooth. If you prefer a seedless texture, strain the mixture through a fine sieve.

Combine Ingredients

In a tall glass, pour in the chilled brewed chai tea, add in one teaspoon of vanilla extract, followed by the smooth raspberry purée. Gently stir the mixture until fully combined.

Finishing Touches

Drop a handful of ice cubes into the glass, slowly pour the chai and raspberry mixture over the ice, then drizzle in half a cup of milk.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish your drink with extra fresh raspberries and a light dusting of cinnamon. Serve immediately, and enjoy every refreshing sip!

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, consider using frozen raspberries and blending them while still slightly frozen. Always use high-quality chai tea for the best flavor.
