This cozy pumpkin chai latte is warmly spiced, lightly sweetened, and perfect for a comforting fall drink. It can be made with dairy or non-dairy milk and topped with whipped cream for an extra treat.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, brewed chai tea, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
Heat until the mixture is steaming and hot, whisking frequently to fully dissolve the pumpkin and combine the spices. Do not let it boil.
If you want a smoother latte, blend the hot mixture with an immersion blender or carefully transfer it to a blender and blend until frothy.
Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream, if using.
Finish with a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon and serve immediately.
Notes
For a smoother texture, blend the latte before serving. Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding a little more maple syrup or honey. Use any milk you prefer, including oat, almond, or dairy milk.
