Ingredients
Pumpkin Foam
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tbsp canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or vanilla syrup)
- ⅛ tsp pumpkin pie spice
Main Drink
- ½ cup milk of choice (2% recommended)
- ½ cup chai tea concentrate
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare Pumpkin Foam: Add the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, canned pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice into a mason jar or glass. Use a milk frother to froth the mixture until it becomes whipped and well-combined, which should take about 10-20 seconds. Set aside the creamy foam.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour in ½ cup of your preferred milk, then add ½ cup of chai tea concentrate on top of the milk to create the iced chai base.
- Add the Pumpkin Foam: Gently spoon the prepared pumpkin foam on top of the iced chai mixture. This creates a creamy and spiced top layer perfect for sipping.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your iced pumpkin cream chai tea latte is ready to enjoy! Stir gently if desired or sip as is for layers of flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with vanilla syrup or another sweetener of choice.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream and your preferred plant-based milk.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice to taste or use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for a homemade blend.
- Use brewed strong chai tea concentrate or store-bought for convenience.
- This recipe serves one but can easily be doubled or tripled for multiple servings.
