Why You’ll Love This Best Iced Tea Latte Recipe

Sometimes, even the most loyal coffee drinkers need to switch things up. Enter the Iced English Breakfast Tea Latte—a smooth, creamy, and slightly sweet beverage that combines the bold flavors of black tea with the velvety richness of a homemade plant-based creamer. Whether you're looking for a cool morning wake-up call or a midday refresh, this tea latte is the perfect way to mix up your routine.

Plus, thanks to JOI’s clean-label plant milk concentrate, you get all the creaminess without the additives, gums, or preservatives found in store-bought creamers. Better for you, better for the planet!

The Secret to the Perfect Iced Tea Latte: Dairy-Free Homemade Vegan Creamer

If you’ve never made your own plant-based creamer at home, prepare to be amazed. No soaking. No straining. No food waste. Just blend your favorite JOI plant milk concentrate with water, and voila! A silky-smooth creamer is ready to transform your tea.

For a little extra indulgence, we love adding vanilla extract, a drizzle of honey (or your favorite sweetener), and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Want an even easier shortcut? JOI Oat Creamer dissolves instantly into water and is already lightly sweetened—so you’re just seconds away from a barista-worthy iced tea latte.

The Benefits of an Iced Tea Latte

Enjoying an iced tea latte isn't just about taste—there are several benefits that make it an excellent choice. Here are some key reasons to love it:

• Smooth & Balanced – The natural tannins in black tea provide a robust, slightly bitter contrast to the sweetness of the creamer.

• Lower in Caffeine than Coffee – A gentle pick-me-up without the jitters.

• Naturally Packed with Antioxidants – Black tea is rich in polyphenols, which support heart health and may help reduce inflammation (source).

• Perfectly Refreshing – Served over ice, it’s the ultimate summer-friendly sip.

Customization Tips – Best Variations of Iced Tea Latte

Does playing with your recipes bring you JOI? We get it. Here are some easy ways to tweak this drink to match your taste:

• Try Different Teas – Swap English Breakfast for Earl Grey (for a floral twist) or Chai (for a spiced version). For a caffeine-free alternative, use an herbal tea like rooibos or chamomile. 

• Serve It Hot – Skip the ice and cozy up with a warm version on chilly mornings.

• Enhance the Flavor – A touch of vanilla extract or cinnamon can elevate the experience.

• Experiment with Sweeteners – Use maple syrup, date syrup, agave, or even coconut sugar instead of honey. Or skip the sweetener altogether!

• Boost It with Protein – Add a scoop of JOI almond protein powder to further boost your morning latte.

• Shortcut - Simply brew the tea, and to a cup of ice with some JOI creamer (original, French vanilla or hazelnut), stir and enjoy!
