How To Make Your Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte
- Brew The Chai Tea
Start by boiling 2 cups of water in a small saucepan. Once it reaches a rolling boil, remove it from the heat and add the chai tea bags. Let them steep for 5 minutes to fully release their flavors. - Mix In The Pumpkin Puree
While the tea is steeping, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, honey, and pumpkin pie spice in a separate bowl until smooth. This mixture will give your latte that classic pumpkin flavor we all love. - Combine The Ingredients
After the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags and place the saucepan back on low heat. Slowly whisk in the pumpkin mixture until well combined. - Add The Milk
Stirring continuously, add the milk to the saucepan little by little. The mixture should be heated to a warm but not boiling point. Stir in the vanilla extract for that extra touch of sweetness. - Froth And Serve
If you have a milk frother, now’s the time to use it! Froth the latte to your desired level of creaminess. If not, no worries—you can whisk it by hand to create a little foam. Pour the latte into your favorite mug, top with whipped cream, and garnish with a cinnamon stick if you like.
Tips And Variations
- Make It Vegan: Swap out the honey for maple syrup and use a plant-based milk like almond or oat for a delicious vegan version.
- Spice It Up: If you love extra spice, add a pinch of ground ginger or nutmeg to the pumpkin mixture.
- Less Sweet, More Spice: Adjust the honey and pumpkin pie spice to suit your taste. Feel free to reduce the sweetness or amp up the spices.
