Instructions

Add the chilled cold brew coffee and vanilla ice cream to a blender.
Add the chai concentrate and vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20 to 30 seconds, until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour the milkshake into a chilled 16-ounce glass.
Top with whipped cream and serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Using chilled ingredients helps keep the milkshake thick without needing extra ice. You can substitute vanilla ice cream with dairy-free vanilla frozen dessert to make it dairy-free.
