What it tastes like
Dunkin chai leans sweet and creamy with cinnamon out front. The ginger and cardamom are there but softer than at a tea shop. If you like Starbucks chai you will find this slightly milder and a little sweeter. It is a good cold-weather drink for people who do not want coffee.

Because the chai concentrate is sweetened, there is no low sugar version. Milk choice is the only lever.
How to make it stronger
The concentrate to milk ratio is fixed per size, but you can ask for “extra chai” at most stores. Some charge 50 cents, some do not. A dirty chai, which is a chai latte with a double espresso shot, costs about $1 more and is the most popular customization.
Dunkin vs Starbucks chai
A Starbucks Grande chai latte is about $5.25. A Dunkin medium is $4.75 and slightly smaller at 14 oz versus 16 oz. Both use sweetened concentrate. Starbucks is spicier with more black pepper and clove. Dunkin is smoother. Price per ounce is close, so pick on taste.
