Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chai tea concentrate
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or maple syrup for natural sweetener)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin Cream: In a blender, combine 1/4 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Blend on high until thick and frothy—this should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Make the Chai Base: In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of chai tea concentrate with 1/2 cup milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.
- Sweeten the Base: Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the chai mixture. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Cool the Chai: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the chai base to cool to room temperature.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled chai latte over the ice, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
- Add the Pumpkin Cream: Spoon the whipped pumpkin cream over the chai latte. Use as much or as little as you like, depending on your preference.
- Serve: Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top for a decorative touch. Serve with a straw or a spoon to stir the cream into the latte.
Notes
[‘Use cold heavy cream for faster whipping and stable foam.’, ‘Taste the chai base before chilling and adjust sweetness as needed.’, ‘Don’t over-whip the cream to avoid a grainy texture.’, ‘Choose a quality chai concentrate for robust flavor.’, ‘Prepare the chai base and pumpkin cream ahead of time and store separately in the fridge.’]
