About Iced chai latte

An Iced Chai Latte is a chilled beverage combining spiced black tea concentrate, milk, and ice. Originating from Indian chai, this drink reflects traditional masala chai flavors but is adapted for Western-style coffee environments. Common spices include cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves, all brewed with black tea for a bold and aromatic base. Nutritionally, the beverage provides modest protein (from milk), carbohydrates, and small amounts of vitamins like calcium and potassium. However, added sugar in pre-made concentrates can increase calorie content. Non-dairy versions are often available for vegan or lactose-intolerant diets.

Health Benefits

• Provides antioxidants from black tea, which support heart health and reduce inflammation.
• Contains ginger, which aids in digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Includes calcium from milk, essential for bone health and muscle function.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains dairy, soy (if using soy milk), spices (individual sensitivity)

Suitable for: Vegetarian, lactose-free (if using non-dairy milk)

Not suitable for: Vegan (if using dairy milk), low-sugar diets (if made with sweetened concentrate)

Selection and Storage

Consume immediately after preparation to maintain freshness. Store chai concentrate refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze in portions.

Common Questions About Iced chai latte Nutrition

How many calories and nutrients are in an iced chai latte?

An iced chai latte typically contains around 160-250 calories for a 16 oz serving, depending on the recipe and milk used. It generally provides 3-6 grams of protein, with minimal fat and sugar contents varying widely (usually 20-40 grams). Black tea-based chai provides some antioxidants, while spices like cinnamon and cardamom may add trace vitamins and minerals.

Can I drink an iced chai latte on a vegan diet?

Yes, an iced chai latte can be made vegan by using plant-based milk options like almond, oat, or soy milk instead of dairy milk. Ensure the chai concentrate or mix used does not contain honey or dairy-derived ingredients.

Is an iced chai latte healthy?

An iced chai latte offers antioxidants from black tea and potential anti-inflammatory properties from spices like cinnamon and ginger. However, store-bought versions often contain high amounts of added sugar, which can negate some health benefits. Opting for unsweetened or homemade versions can make it a healthier choice.

What is the recommended serving size for an iced chai latte?

A standard serving size for an iced chai latte is typically 12-16 oz, which balances flavor and calorie intake. If you're watching your sugar or calorie consumption, you can opt for smaller portions or customize with low-fat, unsweetened milk alternatives.

How does an iced chai latte compare to iced coffee?

An iced chai latte generally has less caffeine than iced coffee—about 40-60 mg in a chai latte versus 95-150 mg in a standard iced coffee. While iced coffee is plain or lightly flavored, chai lattes deliver a spiced, creamy profile. However, chai lattes are typically higher in calories and sugar due to the milk and sweetened chai concentrates.
