Tips & Variations

• Use coconut or almond milk for a dairy-free version that complements the pumpkin flavor.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your taste.
• For extra spice, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top along with the pumpkin pie spice.
• Make the whipped cream ahead and keep it chilled for faster preparation.

Storage

Prepare the pumpkin milk mixture and brewed chai tea separately and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Whip the cream fresh before serving. Combine and serve over ice when ready. Avoid storing the assembled latte as the whipped cream will lose texture.

FAQs

Can I use premade pumpkin pie spice instead of making my own?

Yes, premade pumpkin pie spice works perfectly and saves time. It includes the traditional blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

Is it possible to make this latte hot instead of iced?

Absolutely! Simply skip the ice cubes and serve the drink warm. Warm the pumpkin milk mixture before combining with the hot brewed chai tea, then top with whipped cream.
