Ingredients
Scale
For the Pumpkin Cream Foam
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 tablespoon canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
For the Latte
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (such as 2%)
- 1/2 cup chai tea concentrate
- Ice, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin Cream Foam: In a mason jar or glass, combine the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a milk frother to whip the mixture until it becomes thick, fluffy, and well-combined, about 10-20 seconds. Set aside the frothy pumpkin cream.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes, then pour in 1/2 cup of your chosen milk followed by 1/2 cup chai tea concentrate.
- Add the Pumpkin Cream: Spoon the prepared pumpkin cold foam generously over the top of your iced chai latte, creating a creamy layered effect.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stir gently if desired, then sip and enjoy your homemade pumpkin cream chai tea latte packed with seasonal flavors.
Notes
- Use a good quality chai tea concentrate for the best flavor.
- Adjust the vanilla syrup quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk.
- Pumpkin pie spice can be homemade or store-bought; adjust to taste.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the cold tea and creamy foam.
