Iced Coconut Chai Latte (With Homemade Chai Concentrate)

Creamy, spiced, and made for chai lovers

This iced coconut chai latte is rich, refreshing, and packed with warming spice while still feeling light enough for summer.

The smoky black tea base from Smoky Mountains Cowboy Chai pairs perfectly with creamy coconut, creating something that tastes a little like a cozy campfire and a tropical vacation at the same time.

And the best part? It starts with a homemade chai concentrate you can keep in the fridge for easy drinks all week long.

Why coconut works so well here

Coconut milk softens the spice and smokiness of the chai while adding a creamy, almost dessert-like texture without feeling too heavy.

It also gives the drink a slightly tropical vibe that works incredibly well iced.


Ways to use the chai concentrate

Once you make the concentrate, you can use it for:

  • Hot chai lattes
  • Dirty chai drinks
  • Chai mocktails
  • Chai cold foam
  • Chai lemonade (trust us)

It makes chai feel way less intimidating to make at home.


Tips for the best iced chai

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture
  • Let the concentrate chill completely before serving
  • Shake the coconut milk well before pouring

Perfect for

  • Slow summer mornings
  • Afternoon coffee replacements
  • Cozy people who still want iced drinks
  • Chai lovers year-round
