Copycat Recipe: McDonald’s Vanilla Chai Frappé
Ingredients (2 servings)
- 1 cup strong brewed chai tea (cooled)
- ½ cup whole milk (or oat milk for creamier texture)
- 2 tbsp vanilla syrup (or 2 tsp vanilla extract + 2 tbsp sugar)
- 1 cup ice
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (to mimic that creamy base)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Pinch ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
- Brew chai: Steep chai tea bags in hot water until strong. Let cool.
- Blend frappe: In a blender, combine cooled chai, milk, vanilla syrup, ice, and vanilla ice cream. Blend until smooth and icy.
- Serve café-style: Pour into glasses, top with whipped cream, and dust with cinnamon.
✨ Result: A creamy, spiced frappe that balances chai and vanilla — exactly like the McDonald’s summer version.
