A Grande (16 fl oz) Starbucks Iced Chai Latte has 190 calories, 31 g sugar and about 60 mg of caffeine. A Tall has 140 calories and a Venti 270. Nearly all the carbs are sugar from the sweetened chai concentrate and Classic syrup, with 2% milk adding protein and a little fat.

What's in an Iced Chai Latte

Starbucks combines chai tea concentrate (black tea with cinnamon, clove and other spices) with 2% milk over ice. Its recipe data lists 3 / 4 / 6 pumps of chai concentrate for Tall / Grande / Venti, and Classic syrup appears in the ingredient list.

Milk and customization swaps

Swaps are shown as the direction of change against the standard recipe. Starbucks' product pages don't publish per-drink numbers for each swap, so check the Starbucks app or our calculator for an estimate of your exact order.

Swap Effect on calories Notes
Fewer chai pumps Fewer calories and sugar Spice flavor gets lighter
Nonfat milk instead of 2% Fewer calories and less fat Protein stays about the same
Almondmilk Usually fewer calories Less protein
Oatmilk Varies Check the calculator for your milk
Add cold foam Adds calories, fat and sugar Not part of the standard drink

Milk effects show direction only. Starbucks doesn't publish per-milk nutrition for this drink, so the calculator estimates swaps.

Syrup pumps and calories

Chai concentrate: 3 / 4 / 6 pumps (Tall / Grande / Venti), per Starbucks recipe data. Starbucks lists honey in the chai concentrate, so fewer pumps means less sugar. Starbucks doesn't list nutrition per pump on its product pages. The figure most sites quote is about 20 calories and 5 g of sugar for one pump of a standard syrup such as Classic or Vanilla. Treat that as an estimate (unverified), not a Starbucks number. Sugar-free vanilla syrup adds almost no calories. For pump counts across the menu, see our Starbucks syrup calories per pump guide.

Lower-calorie ways to order

  • Ask for half the chai pumps.
  • Switch to nonfat milk or almondmilk.
  • Order a Tall: 140 calories against 190 for a Grande.
  • Skip cold foam add-ons.
