Description

This Iced Apple Crisp Cream Chai Latte is a refreshing Starbucks copycat beverage combining spiced chai tea with a luscious apple brown sugar cream topping. Perfectly chilled and topped with creamy apple crisp foam, this drink offers a delightful balance of warming spices and sweet apple flavors, ideal for a cozy yet invigorating treat.

Ingredients

Iced Chai Tea Latte

  • 1/2 cup concentrated chai tea
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Ice, to fill glass
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons apple brown sugar syrup

Apple Crisp Cream

  • 2 teaspoons apple brown sugar syrup
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon milk (preferably whole or 2%)

Instructions

  1. Chill Whisk and Bowl: Place a small bowl and whisk in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to ensure they are cold before making the apple crisp cream. This helps achieve the perfect cold foam consistency.
  2. Make Apple Crisp Cream: In the chilled bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, and apple brown sugar syrup. Whisk vigorously until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, similar to the consistency of melted ice cream. Avoid warming the bowl with your hands to maintain cold temperature.
  3. Chill Cream Again: Return the cream mixture to the freezer for a few minutes. Before using, whisk it again to further thicken and perfect the foam texture.
  4. Prepare Iced Chai Latte: In a 16 fluid ounce or larger cup, combine 1/2 cup chai tea concentrate and 1/2 cup milk. Optionally, add 1-2 tablespoons of apple brown sugar syrup for extra sweetness and apple flavor.
  5. Add Ice: Fill the cup with ice, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top for the cream topping.
  6. Top with Apple Crisp Cream: Slowly pour the chilled apple crisp cream on top of the iced chai latte to create a layered effect.
  7. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle with ground cinnamon for added flavor and aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients and utensils for the apple crisp cream are cold to achieve optimal cold foam texture.
  • Whisk by hand using a cold whisk and bowl for the best creamy foam; electric mixers can overwork or warm the cream.
  • Whisk the cream once, chill it, then whisk again just before use for the ideal foam thickness—creamy yet pourable.
  • The apple brown sugar syrup can be adjusted based on sweetness preference or omitted for a less sweet drink.
