Ingredients
Pumpkin Foam
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream

- 1 tbsp canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or vanilla syrup
- ⅛ tsp pumpkin pie spice
Chai Latte Base
- ½ cup milk of choice (2% milk recommended)
- ½ cup chai tea concentrate
- Ice, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare Pumpkin Foam: Add the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, canned pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice to a mason jar or glass. Use a milk frother to froth the mixture until it becomes whipped and well-combined, about 10-20 seconds. Set aside.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill a serving glass with ice. Pour in ½ cup of your choice of milk, followed by ½ cup of chai tea concentrate.
- Top and Serve: Spoon the prepared pumpkin foam over the iced chai milk mixture, creating a creamy, spiced topping. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, refreshing flavors.
Notes
- Chai tea concentrate can be store-bought or homemade; adjust sweetness accordingly.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with vanilla syrup for a different flavor profile.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond milk and coconut whipped cream.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice to taste for more or less spice intensity.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily doubled or tripled for more servings.
