Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 bags chai tea

Pumpkin Milk Mixture

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Additional

  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Boil water: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan to prepare the chai tea base.
  2. Steep chai tea: Remove the saucepan from heat, add the 2 chai tea bags, and allow them to steep for 5 minutes to extract the spicy flavors.
  3. Cool tea: Remove the tea bags and let the brewed chai tea cool down to room temperature, ensuring it won’t melt the ice too quickly.
  4. Prepare pumpkin milk mixture: In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice until thoroughly blended.
  5. Whip cream: In a separate bowl, whip 1/4 cup of heavy cream with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until soft peaks form, creating a fluffy topping.
  6. Assemble the latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes, pour the cooled chai tea over the ice, then add the pumpkin milk mixture and gently stir to combine the flavors.
  7. Add whipped cream topping: Spoon the sweetened whipped cream over the latte and finish with a light dusting of pumpkin pie spice for garnish.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Stir gently before drinking to enjoy the layers of flavor and the creamy, spicy autumn taste.

Notes

  • You can use any dairy or plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy to suit dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar according to sweetness preference or substitute with a sugar alternative.
  • For a stronger pumpkin flavor, add a bit more pumpkin puree or an extra pinch of pumpkin pie spice.
  • The whipped cream topping can be omitted or replaced with a non-dairy alternative for a lighter or vegan version.
  • Make sure the chai tea is completely cooled before mixing to keep the drink refreshing and to avoid melting the ice too rapidly.
