Dirty Iced Chai Latte Recipe: A Delicious Break From Coffee


Just so you know, if you click on a product on RoastyCoffee.com and decide to buy it, we may earn a small commission.

When espresso or coffee is added to chai tea it is then titled dirty. I feel like the term dirty is a bit harsh and off-putting. I mean, why can’t we all just get along?

With the big world problems out there I don’t believe this drink will be of much help in answering that question. But, when the exotic spiced blend of chai tea is married with that rich shot of espresso a magical thing happens!

Coffee and tea drinkers alike are satisfied, dare I say excited about what they’ve just experienced! You can mix in your favorite milk, a touch of honey and consider yourself a peacemaker.
