FAQs (Because Life’s Too Busy for Guesswork)
This latte does have caffeine in it, but if you want or need it to be caffeine-free, you can use a caffeine-free chai tea concentrate.
Yes, if you would like to add flavors, you can exchange the simple syrup for a flavored syrup. Flavors like caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon, or even apple are all good options.
If you would like to make it a hot drink, you can. To do so, leave out the ice and steam or gently heat the milk before mixing.
