Chai concentrate blended with steamed milk, this hot drink leans on cinnamon, cardamom and ginger, with a gentle sweetness and a smooth, creamy body. It’s served in the usual McDonald’s takeaway cup and finished hot, so the spices stay fragrant rather than sharp. Compared with the brand’s coffee drinks, it skips espresso entirely and sits in the non-coffee corner of the menu. The flavour profile is more about warm spice than tea tannin, with a lighter, more rounded spice hit than a straight chai brewed from loose leaves or a concentrate-heavy café version.
