    The chai tea latte is turned up a few notches with this Extra Dirty Iced Chai Tea Latte. Chai tea latte concentrate is poured over coffee ice cubes, then mixed with milk, a splash of Kahlua, and a shot of espresso.

    Well that’s a mouthful, isn’t it? A delicious mouthful though! I’ll be honest and say that I’m definitely a late in the game chai tea lover. I stole a sip of Brian’s chai tea latte one day expecting it to be too spiced and not really my style, but siiiiipped sipped sipped until half of it was gone. Whoops. πŸ˜‰ Inevitably I’m a fan.

    Without fail, every day I drink two cups of coffee. This year I made a New Year’s resolution to cut it down to two, as an extra cup (or two…) kept creeping into my day-to-day routine and creeping up my bedtime. So far so good in 2015! My morning coffee needs to be hot and unflavored (Colombian ♥) with milk and no sugar, but I’ll branch out a little with my afternoon cup. Usually it’s the same as my morning coffee, but occasionally I’ll splurge and walk on the wild side with an iced chai tea latte with a shot of espresso. A dirty iced chai tea latte!

    This version though isn’t exactly sanctioned to keep you chugging along on a workday afternoon. ‘Extra dirty’ partially means boozy thanks to coffee liqueur, so I’d save this iced latte for a weekend spent lounging in leisure. Of course, you could always leave out the liqueur, but where’s the fun in that? πŸ˜‰

    One thing I’m a little bit nutty about is weak coffee. Noooo thanks. That means ice cubes tend to be enemies when it comes to iced coffee, granted I don’t drink it down in a few minutes time which is usually the case (seriously, does anyone have the willpower to savor and just sip on an iced coffee?). In the case of this beautiful beverage, ‘extra dirty’ also means that it has coffee ice cubes, so no dilution will be happening here. I use a LARGE ice cube tray to add a fun element to my drinks and cocktails - one per glass will do the trick!

    So here you have an iced chai tea latte, with coffee liqueur, espresso, and coffee ice cubes. A refreshing spiced tea drink with an extra jolt (or two…) of caffeine. This definitely counts as just one coffee, right? πŸ˜‰

      When I read this recipe title, I immediately thought of that Christina Aguilerra song. "Wanna get DIRTY!" Haha, remember that? I love chai tea lattes! Even more than regular lattes now. I neverrrr drink coffee, and when I do the caffeine makes me freak out. And sweat. It's nuts. So I stick to teas now, much safer. This sounds so freshing! Cheers!

        Hahaha yes I do! So funny, now that tune is in my head when I see this post title. πŸ™‚ I cut down my daily cups of coffee because I was a little too wired at night. Sneaking in an iced chai latte (well, with espresso and coffee cubes too) makes me feel like I'll be more relaxed at night...even if it's just a placebo effect. πŸ˜‰

      Wow, I've never heard of anything like this before! What a sneaky way to get a bit more caffeine in the system! I've cut down lately too, so the cups I do have have to be really good. Would love to try this - I bet the kahlua really takes it up into drinkies heaven!

        Haha Helen, anything to sneak in a little extra oomph but still abide by my self-imposed two cups rule! The spiced tea/coffee combination tastes so well together. Plus Kahlua! Yum. Thanks!
