A cozy and comforting fall drink that blends pumpkin puree with spicy chai, brown sugar, and frothed milk for a smooth, creamy latte with balanced sweetness and warm spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 black tea bags (Assam or English Breakfast recommended)
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole milk or plant-based like oat or almond)
  • 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree (plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups (360 ml) of water to a gentle boil. Add the 2 black tea bags, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. Reduce heat to low and let steep for 5 minutes uncovered.
  2. Remove tea bags and strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a clean saucepan or heatproof container to remove spices.
  3. Stir in 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree and 2 tablespoons brown sugar into the warm tea mixture. Whisk until pumpkin is fully incorporated and sugar dissolves.
  4. In a separate saucepan, warm 1 cup (240 ml) of milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes).
  5. Pour the pumpkin chai mixture into the warm milk. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously until frothy and well combined.
  6. Serve immediately in a mug. Optionally, garnish with a dash of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick.

Notes

Use freshly ground spices for best flavor. For dairy-free, use unsweetened oat or almond milk. Brown sugar can be swapped with maple syrup or honey. If no frother, whisk vigorously or shake in a sealed jar. Avoid scalding milk by heating gently. Adjust sweetness to taste.
