Halloween is the perfect excuse to get a little dramatic with your drinks, and our Spooky Black Chai Latte delivers in both flavor and visual impact. Using Smoky Mountains Cowboy Chai and a touch of activated charcoal, this bold latte is smoky, spicy, and utterly black—perfect for a cozy yet spooky fall evening.
Why This Drink Works
The bold, smoky black tea and warming chai spices pair beautifully with the creamy texture of steamed milk. Activated charcoal gives it an eerie black color without altering the rich, spiced flavor. It’s a fun, Instagram-worthy beverage that tastes as good as it looks.
Ingredients
- 1–2 tsp Smoky Mountains Cowboy Chai
- ½ cup hot water
- ½ cup milk of choice (oat, almond, or coconut for a dairy-free option)
- ½ tsp activated charcoal powder (food-grade)
- Sweetener to taste (maple syrup, honey, or sugar)
- Optional garnish: star anise, cinnamon stick, or edible black glitter
Instructions
- Brew the Tea: Steep the Smoky Mountains Cowboy Chai in hot water for 5–7 minutes.
- Heat & Froth Milk: Warm milk until steaming and frothy.
- Add Charcoal & Sweetener: Whisk in activated charcoal and your preferred sweetener until fully combined.
- Combine & Serve: Pour the frothed black milk into the brewed chai. Stir gently for a marbled effect or fully mix for solid black.
- Garnish: Add a cinnamon stick, star anise, or edible black glitter for extra spooky flair.
Pro Tips
Always use food-grade activated charcoal and stick to small amounts—too much can be overpowering.

- Perfect for Halloween parties, autumn-themed gatherings, or a fun, cozy night in.
