How many pumps of syrup are required for a (Short) Chai?

For a Short Chai, the required amount of syrup is two pumps. This measurement applies across various drink sizes at Starbucks, where the number of syrup pumps corresponds with the size of the beverage to ensure a consistent flavor profile. The Short size, being smaller than the standard Tall size, has a corresponding amount of syrup to maintain the balance of sweetness and spice characteristic of a Chai. Therefore, two pumps effectively enhance the drink without overwhelming it, allowing the chai’s signature flavors to shine through adequately. This understanding of syrup measurements is crucial for maintaining quality and consistency in beverage preparation at Starbucks.
