Ingredients
Scale
Cherry Cream Cold Foam
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 ½ tbsp cherry syrup
- 1 tbsp whole milk
Iced Cherry Chai Latte
- ½ cup chai tea concentrate
- ½ cup milk of choice (2% milk recommended)
- Ice
- ½ tsp freeze-dried cherries, crushed
Instructions
- Make the Cherry Cream Cold Foam: In a small glass or container, combine 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1 ½ tablespoons of cherry syrup, and 1 tablespoon of whole milk. Froth the mixture vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds until it becomes fully whipped and fluffy. Set this cherry cream foam aside for topping.
- Prepare the Iced Cherry Chai: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Pour in ½ cup of chai tea concentrate followed by ½ cup of your preferred milk (2% milk is suggested for a balanced creaminess).
- Assemble the Drink: Gently spoon the prepared cherry cream cold foam over the iced chai mixture to create a layered effect. Finish with a light sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried cherries on top for both flavor and garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious iced cherry chai latte!
Notes
- For best results, use a high-quality chai tea concentrate for authentic flavor.
- You can adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of cherry syrup used in the cold foam.
- Any milk of choice can be substituted to suit dietary preferences, including almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Use freeze-dried cherries rather than fresh cherries to avoid excess moisture in the drink topping.
- Frothing can be done with a handheld milk frother or by shaking vigorously in a jar if a frother is not available.
