Ingredients
Scale
Chai Tea
- 1 chai tea bag or 1 tablespoon loose chai tea
- 1 cup hot water
Pumpkin Cream
- 1/4 cup milk (whole, skim, or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves blend)
- 1 teaspoon sweetener (optional, such as maple syrup or sugar)
Other
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Brew the chai tea: Steep the chai tea bag or loose leaves in 1 cup of hot water for about 5 minutes until strongly brewed. Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves.
- Prepare the pumpkin cream: In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and sweetener until smooth and well combined. This creates a creamy, flavorful pumpkin mixture.
- Assemble the latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the brewed chai over the ice, then gently add the pumpkin cream on top, stirring lightly if desired to combine flavors.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately as a refreshing iced drink that balances the warm spices of chai with cool, creamy pumpkin flavor.
Notes
- Use whole milk or a creamy plant-based milk for best results with the pumpkin cream.
- Adjust sweetness to taste or omit it for a less sweet latte.
- Pumpkin spice can be made fresh by combining ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- For a stronger pumpkin flavor, increase the pumpkin puree to 1/3 cup.
- Use chilled brewed chai tea to avoid excess ice melt for a more balanced drink.
