Notes

Storage Tip: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftover chai in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just mix with cream soda before serving.

For an extra indulgent touch, add a dollop of whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. You can also experiment with different types of cream sodas, such as vanilla or caramel, to find your perfect flavor pairing. If you prefer a less sweet version, use less cream soda or incorporate sparkling water instead.

Make sure to brew your chai strong for the best flavor; steep the tea longer than usual to really let those spices shine. This drink can be served warm or cold—just chill the cream soda in advance if you’re going for a refreshing treat!
