An iced dirty chai latte is the ultimate crossover beverage—combining the warm, aromatic spice of traditional chai tea with the bold, rich kick of espresso over ice. But getting this coffeehouse favorite right at home often requires brewing concentrated tea, pulling fresh shots, and balancing liquid ratios so it doesn't end up watery.

With Caffè D’Vita Chai Tea Latte Mix, you skip the long steeping process entirely. Our mix dissolves quickly into warm coffee or water, creating an instant chai-espresso concentrate that pours smoothly over cold milk and ice in under three minutes.

What You’ll Need

• 4 tsp. Caffè D’Vita Chai Tea Latte Mix (adjust to taste)
• 1 shot Fresh espresso (or 2 oz hot dark roast coffee / 2 oz warm water with 1 tsp instant espresso)
• 5 oz Cold milk of choice (Oat, Almond, Whole, or Coconut)
• 1 cup Fresh ice cubes

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. In a glass or measuring cup, stir 4 teaspoons of Caffè D’Vita Chai Tea Latte Mix directly into your hot espresso or warm coffee liquid until smooth and completely dissolved.
2. Fill a 12 oz to 16 oz glass to the top with fresh ice cubes and pour in 5 oz of your preferred cold milk.
3. Pour your warm chai-espresso concentrate over the iced milk. Stir thoroughly until cool, smooth, and fully integrated.

Customize It #CaffeYourWay

Our drink bases are built for complete flexibility—giving you full control over spice depth, caffeine levels, and milk body:

• Scoop to Taste: Prefer a coffee-forward drink with subtle spice notes? Use 2 to 3 teaspoons of chai mix. Craving a heavily spiced, bold chai finish? Scale up to 5 teaspoons.
• Double Dirty Option: Add two shots of espresso instead of one for a high-octane morning drink.
• Your Milk, Your Way: Pair with oat milk for a thick, velvety texture that complements the cinnamon spice, or almond milk for a lighter, refreshing afternoon sip.
