This is a blended chai frappe, the kind of thick, cold, cafe-style drink you would normally queue for. Brew the turmeric chai strong, cool it, then blend it with milk, ice, a little vanilla syrup and a scoop of vanilla ice cream until smooth and thick.

Top with cream and a dusting of cinnamon. It is more dessert than everyday cup. Makes one tall glass.
You'll need
- 2 tea bags of Yogi Tea Organic Turmeric Chai (for concentrate)
- 100ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
- 150ml whole milk
- 60g cubed ice
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla syrup
- 1 small scoop of vanilla ice cream
- 1 generous swirl of squirty cream
- A small pinch of ground cinnamon, for the dust
- 1 tall 450ml glass, chilled
- 1 small saucepan and a saucer for covering, 1 jug blender
Method
- Chill a tall glass.
- Steep two tea bags in 100ml of freshly boiled water for five minutes, then lift them out and cool the concentrate down.
- Tip the cooled chai, the milk, ice, vanilla syrup and ice cream into a blender.
- Blend for about thirty seconds until thick and smooth.
- Pour into the glass, top with cream and a dusting of cinnamon.
- Brew the chai strong and concentrated; a weak brew gets lost once the milk, ice and ice cream go in.
