This cozy pumpkin spice chai latte combines warm chai tea, creamy milk, pumpkin purée, and maple sweetness for a comforting fall drink. It tastes like a Starbucks favorite made at home in just minutes.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until smooth and steaming, but do not boil.
Add the chai tea bags and hot water to the saucepan, or stir in the brewed chai concentrate if using liquid chai. Let steep or heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the tea bags, then whisk in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the latte into two mugs. Top with whipped cream and a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, if desired.
Serve warm immediately.
Notes
For a sweeter latte, add more maple syrup or brown sugar to taste. Use dairy or non-dairy milk, and adjust the pumpkin pie spice topping to your preference.
