Iced Green Chai Latte with Oat Milk
A creamy, spiced iced latte made with cold-brewed green chai and frothy oat milk—refreshing, lightly sweet, and impossibly smooth.
This iced latte flips the traditional hot chai on its head. Cold-brewing the green chai overnight extracts the warm spices gently—you get cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon without any bitterness or astringency from the green tea base.
Oat milk is the ideal partner here. Its natural creaminess and subtle sweetness complement the spices without overwhelming the tea's lighter, grassier notes the way dairy sometimes can.
The trick is to brew the concentrate double-strength so it holds up to the ice and milk. Weak tea disappears in this format—you want the spices to punch through the cold and cream.
Make a batch of concentrate on Sunday night and you have iced chai lattes all week. Just pour over ice, add oat milk, and you've got a café-quality drink in 30 seconds flat.
