Vanilla Whipped Dirty Chai
A vanilla-scented, wonderfully creamy dirty iced chai (masala chai tea + coffee). This recipe can make anywhere from one to 4 drinks, depending on how much whipped coffee you like in your cup, and how big your cup is.Â
- Yield: Makes enough for 3 to 4 drinks, depending on strength
Ingredients
Scale
3 bags black masala chai tea
2 TBSP instant coffee
2 TBSP granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)
Milk, for mixing (I typically use about ¾ cup per drink)
Instructions
- Steep the tea bags in 1 cup of boiling water for 10 minutes. Allow this concentrated chai tea to come to room temperature before using (I throw it in the freezer to speed this up).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coffee, sugar, and 2 TBSP of the chai concentrate. Using a hand-held mixer, mix on high until smooth, thick and creamy (like buttercream); about 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the vanilla bean paste or extract.
- To make one drink: fill a glass with ice. Add two to three tablespoons of the chai concentrate and top with milk, as much as you like, leaving room for the whipped dirty chai mixture. Top the milky chai with a couple of TBSP to ¼ cup of the whipped dirty chai (again, this is all to taste).
- Stir to mix a bit before enjoying.Â
