Print Recipe

This quick and easy pumpkin chai latte comes together in under 10 minutes with just four simple ingredients. It’s creamy, spicy, and perfectly sweet—a cozy fall drink that tastes like a hug from someone who really gets you.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chai tea bags (e.g., Tazo Chai or Yogi Chai)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, brown sugar, or monk fruit sweetener)

Instructions

  1. Heat the milk: Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk into a small saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree. Whisk gently to combine.
  2. Add the chai bags: Place 2 chai tea bags into the milk mixture. Turn heat to medium-low and heat for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until steam rises and tiny bubbles form around the edges. Do not boil.
  3. Sweeten to taste: Remove saucepan from heat. Take out the tea bags, pressing them gently with a spoon. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or your sweetener of choice). Taste and adjust sweetness.
  4. Froth if desired: For a foamy texture, pour the hot latte into a blender and blend on low for 10 seconds, or use a handheld milk frother right in the saucepan.
  5. Pour and garnish: Pour the latte into your favorite mug. Sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top. Optionally, add a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

Don’t boil the milk—it can scorch and make the chai bitter. Steep chai bags for exactly 3 minutes for best flavor. Whisk pumpkin into cold milk first to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness based on your milk choice. For an iced version, steep chai bags in 1/2 cup hot milk for 3 minutes, then pour over ice and add another 1/2 cup cold milk.
