This cozy pumpkin chai latte is a Starbucks-inspired drink with warm chai spices, creamy milk, and pumpkin flavor. Enjoy it hot or iced with whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup or sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth and fragrant.
Add the milk and brewed chai tea, then heat gently until steaming, whisking often. Do not let it boil.
For an iced version, let the mixture cool slightly, then pour it over a glass filled with ice.
For a hot version, pour the drink into a mug immediately after heating.
Top with whipped cream and a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice before serving.
Notes
Use any milk you like, including dairy or plant-based milk. Adjust the sweetness to taste, and for a stronger spice flavor add a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top.
