Ingredients
  

For the Apple Brown Sugar Syrup
  • 1 cup Brown sugar Adds a rich sweetness; don’t skip the simmering to achieve that perfect thickness.
  • 1 cup Apple juice Infuses the syrup with genuine apple flavor; opt for a fresh-pressed version for the best taste.
  • 2 sticks Cinnamon sticks Provides aromatic warmth; you can also use ground cinnamon if that's what you have on hand.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances the sweetness, enhancing all flavors melded in this syrup.
For the Creamy Latte
  • 1 cup Full Fat Coconut Milk or Barista-Style Oat Milk Creates a luscious base; both will give a creamy texture while being dairy-free.
  • 1/2 cup Chai tea concentrate Forms the flavorful foundation; ensure it’s vegan by checking for honey.
  • 1 cup Soy Milk or Oat Milk Used to achieve your desired creaminess; feel free to mix and match plant milks as you please.
  • 2 cups Ice Essential for a refreshing chill; the perfect companion to a cozy fall drink like this one!
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Apple Brown Sugar Syrup Spoon generously on top for that sweet apple finish.
  • 1 dash Cinnamon Offers a pleasing visual and aromatic touch; it’s lovely to sprinkle on right before serving.

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Mixing container
  • Frother or whisk
  • Tall glass

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, apple juice, cinnamon sticks, and a pinch of salt. Heat over low to medium heat, whisking until the mixture is combined. Allow it to simmer for 5–10 minutes, or until thickened and syrupy, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the apple brown sugar syrup cool completely—this will take about 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a mixing container, pour in your choice of full fat coconut milk or barista-style oat milk. Add the cooled apple brown sugar syrup and use a frother or whisk vigorously until the mixture is creamy and frothy.
  4. Fill a tall glass with ice to keep your Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai refreshingly cold. Pour in the chai tea concentrate, filling about half of the glass. Then, add oat milk to your desired taste, stirring gently to combine.
  5. Using a spoon or a pour-over technique, carefully spoon or pour the frothy apple sweet cream over the chai mixture. Let it cascade down the ice.
  6. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top of the frothy apple cream as a lovely garnish.
