Chai Tea
- 1 chai tea bag or 1 tablespoon loose chai tea
- 1 cup water
Milk
Pumpkin Cream
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Ice
- Brew the Chai Tea: Boil 1 cup of water and steep the chai tea bag or loose chai tea for 5 minutes to develop a strong flavor. Remove the tea and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to chill if desired.
- Prepare the Pumpkin Cream: In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and slightly thickened to create the pumpkin cream topping.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes, pour in the chilled brewed chai tea, then add milk to the glass and stir gently to combine.
- Top with Pumpkin Cream: Spoon the prepared pumpkin cream over the top of the iced chai latte, creating a creamy, flavorful layer.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately with a straw or stir the pumpkin cream into the chai latte for a fully blended pumpkin spice experience.
Notes
- Use any type of milk like almond, oat, or dairy depending on preference.
- The pumpkin cream can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Adjust sweetness in the pumpkin cream to taste.
- For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
- Chill the brewed chai well to prevent dilution when poured over ice.
