Iced Chai Latte

An Iced Chai Latte hits differently when the day is warm and your energy is dipping. It’s bold, spiced, and cooling all at once. The first sip gives you that familiar chai warmth from cinnamon and cardamom, then the ice and milk smooth everything out. It feels refreshing but still comforting, which is a rare combo. This is the kind of drink you make once and then keep coming back to all summer. Strong tea, creamy milk, and just enough sweetness to round it out without hiding the spices.
