The dirty chai latte was born in the ‘90’s when a barista mistakenly added a shot of espresso to a customer’s chai latte order. Luckily for all of us dirty chai latte lovers, the patron’s curiosity and general relaxed nature took hold and instead of asking for a replacement, he took a sip of this new concoction! One sip led to another, and the craze was born. It was the perfect blend of the two loves, with the chai latte's sweetness and spice balanced by the espresso's boldness. It was a drink that was both invigorating and comforting, and it quickly became a favorite among coffee and tea lovers alike.

Now, let's celebrate this iconic blend with a special recipe! Steeped has created a delicious dirty chai latte recipe using your favorite Steeped Packs to honor National Chai Day. Grab your mugs and get ready to spice up your life!

No-Churn Coffee Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• ½ cup strong cold brewed coffee
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Grab your favorite Steeped roast (we recommend our medium or dark roasts for best results) and a fresh mug. Place the Steeped bag in your fresh mug and pour 8 oz of filtered water over the top of the bag, saturating it fully. Cover the mug, place in a safe spot in your fridge and let steep for 12-24 hours. The longer you wait, the stronger the brew!
2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form - this may take a few minutes.
3. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, chilled coffee, and vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Mix until well-combined. Be careful not to overmix as you want to keep the airiness!
4. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or an airtight container, then smooth the top with a spatula. Place the container in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the ice cream to set.
5. Once the ice cream is fully frozen and has set, it's time to scoop up your ice cream and start celebrating your hard work! 

Whether you prefer to serve it in bowls, in cones, or go all out and dive straight in with your spoons (can't blame you there), the choice is yours! Feel free to add some extra love with toppings like chocolate chips, caramel swirls, or even crushed cookies!

Hot take (or should we say cold take) of 2023 – it’s always cold brew season. This delicious Cold Brew Butterscotch Latte is smooth and rich and full of flavor. The foundation of this recipe is the timeless Mr. Espresso Seven Bridges Blend, available online at  Steeped Coffee. This balanced blend of Central and South American coffees sings with velvety notes of caramel and light smoke - making it the perfect base for this flavorful latte. 

Feel free to adapt this recipe to your needs! We recommend starting the night before so your cold brew can be ready the moment you wake up, but you can always adapt the recipe to make it in the moment or even enjoy it hot! If you’re a bit pressed on time, feel free to brew the coffee as you would a hot drink (though, we recommend using only about 4 oz of water for a stronger taste) and adding ice in when you’re ready! If you’re wanting a warm drink, skip the ice and get right to sipping.
