I remember the first time I ever tried chai. It was a tiny little cafe tucked away on a rainy street corner during my trip to visit my best friend who had moved to the West Coast. I’d always been a coffee person, but the aroma wafting from that cafe lured me in. One sip of their spiced chai latte, and I was hooked! Since then, I've experimented with chai in so many different ways, and let me tell you, this Mint Chocolate Chip Chai Frost might just be my favorite creation. My friend, Sarah, has always had a soft spot for anything mint chocolate chip. So, I dedicate this recipe to her! This drink is like a party in your mouth and your soul, the mix of spice and chocolate is so surprising and great.
What makes this Chai Frost so special? Well, beyond the incredible flavor combo, it's surprisingly easy to whip up. You don't need any fancy equipment or barista skills. You can adjust the sweetness and spice levels to your liking. Prefer a stronger chai flavor? Add another tea bag! Want it sweeter? A little extra honey or maple syrup will do the trick. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to use up those leftover chocolate chips you’ve been meaning to bake with. What are you waiting for? Let’s dive in!
Alright, let’s talk about the star of the show – the chai! I personally love using a good quality chai tea bag for its convenience and consistent flavor. But, if you’re feeling adventurous, feel free to use loose leaf chai. Just remember to strain it well before adding it to the blender! And for the mint? Fresh mint is an absolute MUST. It brings a brightness and vibrancy that you simply can't get from extract. Trust me on this one. Seriously, go get some fresh mint, this won't work without it.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Brew the Chai Tea: Start by brewing a strong cup of chai tea. In a mug or heat-proof container, steep 2 chai tea bags in 1 cup of hot water (not boiling) for about 5-7 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the chai flavor will be.
- Chill the Tea: Remove the tea bags and let the brewed chai tea cool down completely. You can speed this up by placing it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. Nobody wants a warm smoothie!
- Combine Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine the chilled chai tea, 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips (mini or regular), 1 tablespoon of sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar), and 1 cup of ice cubes.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend everything on high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes.
- Taste and Adjust: Give it a taste! If you want it sweeter, add more sweetener. For a more intense mint flavor, add a few more mint leaves. Feel free to experiment until it’s perfect for you.
- Garnish (Optional): Pour the Mint Chocolate Chip Chai Frost into a tall glass. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, a sprig of fresh mint, or extra chocolate chips. This will make the drink extra appealing.
- Serve Immediately: Serve your delicious Chai Frost immediately and enjoy! Best enjoyed on a hot day... or really any day! It is really good, and easy, you have to trust me!
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk or full-fat coconut milk.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference.
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an extra boost.
- Cacao nibs or dark chocolate shavings can be used instead of normal chips.
- If you don't have fresh mint, try using 1/4 teaspoon of mint extract. The taste isn't the same though.
- For a fun twist, add a splash of coffee liqueur.
