October in Texas doesn’t always bring sweater weather right away, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the flavors of fall. That’s where this Chai-Spiced Iced Latte comes in—a drink that’s equal parts cozy and refreshing.
Chai tea brings all the warm spices we love this season—cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves—while a splash of milk and a little sweetness turn it into something creamy and satisfying. Served over ice (and topped with whipped cream if you’d like), it’s the perfect way to sip fall flavors while still keeping cool.
