As the weather cools down and fall settles in, there’s nothing quite like curling up with a warm, spiced drink. This easy Pumpkin Chai Latte recipe combines all the flavors of autumn—sweet pumpkin, spicy chai, and a hint of vanilla—into one cozy cup. Best of all, it’s super simple to make using boxed chai and pumpkin purée!
Ingredients:
• 1 cup boxed chai tea (pre-brewed or chai concentrate)
• 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 tbsp pumpkin purée
• 1-2 tsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• Cinnamon (for garnish)
Step 1: Heat the Chai Tea
Start by heating up your chai tea. You can use a boxed pre-brewed chai or a chai concentrate—whichever you have on hand. Pour 1 cup of chai into a small pot and heat it on medium-low until it’s warm.
Step 2: Mix the Pumpkin and Milk
In a separate pot, combine 1/2 cup of your preferred milk, 2 tablespoons of pumpkin purée, and 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or your sweetener of choice. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Whisk everything together over low heat, stirring constantly until it’s smooth and warmed through.
Step 3: Combine the Mixtures
Once both the chai and pumpkin milk mixtures are hot, pour the chai into your favorite mug. Slowly add the pumpkin milk mixture, stirring to combine all the cozy fall flavors.
Step 4: Optional Toppings
For an extra touch, top your Pumpkin Chai Latte with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It adds the perfect finishing touch and makes this drink feel like a special treat.
Step 5: Enjoy!
Grab a blanket, find a comfy spot, and enjoy your homemade Pumpkin Chai Latte. It’s a delicious way to bring the warmth and spice of fall right into your home.
