Can I make this chai hot instead of iced?

Absolutely! You can simply skip the ice and serve the chai warm. Prepare the chai the same way and enjoy it hot, perfect for cooler weather.

What if I don't have cherry juice or syrup?

No problem! You can use other fruit syrups or even fresh fruit puree. Options like raspberry or strawberry can also work beautifully to give a fruity twist.

Is it possible to use a different tea base?

Yes! You can experiment with different teas such as Earl Grey or green tea while keeping the cherry syrup; each will bring a unique flavor to your drink.

How long does the whipped cream foam last?

The whipped cream foam is best enjoyed fresh and should be made just before serving. If stored in the fridge, it may lose its structure.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes! Substitute the heavy cream with a coconut whipped cream or any non-dairy cream alternative, and use a non-dairy milk to keep it vegan-friendly.
