What’s in a Dutch Bros Golden Eagle Chai – (ingredients)

What’s actually in a Dutch Bros Golden Eagle chai? According to Dutch Bros’ official website, they have listed the drink’s ingredients as a breve, vanilla syrup, caramel sauce, caramel drizzles, and whipped cream.

The ingredients are naturally manufactured and easily available in the market. Let us look at each ingredient separately.

• A breve: A breve is an Espresso drink made with Espresso shots, half whole milk, and half cream. However, when making Golden Eagle Chai, Dutch Bros swipes the espresso in breve with chai tea. It is used as the base of this drink and is the main ingredient of the Golden Eagle Chai.
• Vanilla Syrup: Dutch Bros has sugary and sugar-free vanilla syrup. Therefore, you can choose the syrup that you want. However, the main reason for adding vanilla syrup is to add flavor and sweetness to the drink. The vanilla syrup contains water, sugar, and vanilla. For the sugar-free vanilla syrup, it has sucralose instead of sugar.
• Caramel Sauce: Caramel sauce is thick and adds caramel flavor to the drink. It is also used to sweeten the drink. It contains water, sugar, cream, and butter. It gives the drink a creamy taste while drinking.
• Caramel drizzles: Dutch Bros adds Caramel Drizzles on top of the drink to make it presentable. They are tinny candy balls that have a caramel flavor. Sometimes they drizzle caramel sauce which is also for the same purpose.
• Whipped cream: Whipped cream is added as a topping for the drink. It sweetens the drink, but sometimes people prefer to skip it.
