Instructions

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

Tips

Use a good quality chai concentrate for balanced flavor. If unavailable, steep chai tea strongly and reduce to concentrate before using.
