A cozy, creamy pumpkin chai latte made with oat milk, perfect for fall and easy to prepare without fancy equipment. This plant-based drink combines warm chai spices with real pumpkin puree for a comforting homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chai tea bags (Tazo or Twinings recommended)
  • 2 cups water (480 ml)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups oat milk (barista-style recommended)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Brew the Chai Tea: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups (480 ml) of water to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and add 2 chai tea bags. Steep for 5 to 7 minutes depending on desired strength. Remove tea bags and set aside the chai liquid.
  2. Mix the Pumpkin Spice Base: In the same saucepan, add pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Whisk well until smooth with no lumps.
  3. Add Oat Milk: Pour in 2 cups (480 ml) of oat milk and stir. Heat gently over medium-low heat, whisking frequently to prevent sticking or curdling. Warm until just steaming, about 3 to 5 minutes. Avoid boiling.
  4. Froth and Serve: Use a handheld frother or whisk vigorously to create light foam. Pour into a mug and optionally sprinkle with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.

Notes

Do not boil the oat milk to prevent separation. Steep chai tea for 5-7 minutes to avoid bitterness. Whisk vigorously to ensure smooth texture. Pumpkin chai concentrate can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup to taste.
