This Cookie Butter Iced Chai Latte is straight off the TikTok Starbucks secret menu. It’s sweet, creamy, and easy to make from scratch with chai tea bags, homemade brown sugar syrup, and oat milk. Every sip will make you swoon!
If you loved my super popular copycat brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso recipe, you’ll surely fall for this tea-based latte, too.
A coffee shop-worthy drink with no espresso maker required!
If you frequent our blog, you’ll know we loooove espresso-based latte drinks. However, I don’t think you should limit yourself to just coffee! There are so many great drink recipes to try that aren’t coffee based at all, yet still worthy of a coffee shop menu. My copycat strawberry pink drink is a great example!
However, if you love coffee and espresso, you could add a single or double shot of espresso to this drink to make a cookie butter iced dirty chai. I have tried this before and it was incredible!
If you want to add actual cookie butter…
Let’s be honest, sometimes you just want a little extra indulgence. And yes, you can add cookie butter directly to this drink for even more richness and bold cookie flavor. I like to stir it into the hot brewed chai before adding ice, so it melts smoothly. But if you’re into those gooey pockets of cookie butter, try drizzling some on top at the end and giving it a good swirl with a straw.
Important ingredients:
- Chai – I like to use chai tea bags and steep them in boiling water before combining them with the rest of the ingredients. Chai concentrate works well, too! Just make sure the brand you use is unsweetened as we are adding sweetener in this recipe and it would be far too sweet if you used both.
- Brown sugar syrup – you can purchase pre-bottled brown sugar syrup (I have some in my pantry right now!) but I prefer to make my own version at home and I personally think it’s even better.
Liv’s time saving trick:
To enjoy these lattes throughout the week, double the recipe and assemble it (without ice) in a pitcher. Keep it in the fridge and pour over ice first thing in the morning or whenever you’re craving its warm and sweet flavours.
For an ice-cold sweet treat, enjoy your cookie butter iced latte as soon as it’s assembled. Garnish the glass with a dollop of vegan whipped cream or a drizzle of cookie butter for an eye-catching presentation and some extra sweetness.

Description
An iced chai oat milk latte inspired by the flavours of speculoos cookie butter!
Ingredients

Just made this drink and it is fabulous! Saving this recipe to continue making in the future!
This looks so good! What a great combination of flavors!
The drink was fantastic. But the website was awful. Every time I went to look back, it would jump back to the top for advertising. Took me about 5 mins to type this because of it.
So sorry about that! Looking into it, thanks for letting me know! Thanks for trying the drink so happy you enjoyed it 🙂
This isn’t helpful and you’ve dragged the recipe rating down because of something that is NOT about the recipe. Imagine getting a bad grade on a paper because the professor doesn’t like the way you look! Consider adjusting it.
unfortunately, the Tazo Chai concentrate has honey in it (sigh). I haven’t found another replacement so I’m excited to try this recipe, thanks Liv!
Actuslly you can use bengal spice chai tea. It is chai tea taste exactly like dont need sweetner.
