Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 tablespoon canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or vanilla syrup)
- 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (2% recommended)
- 1/2 cup chai tea concentrate
- Ice, as needed
Instructions
- Add heavy cream, whole milk, pumpkin puree, syrup, and pumpkin pie spice to a mason jar or glass.
- Use a handheld frother to whip until smooth and fluffy, about 10–20 seconds. Set aside.
- Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup chai tea concentrate.
- Top the iced chai with pumpkin cold foam and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use oat, almond, or soy milk and a plant-based cream alternative.
- To make it hot, warm the chai and milk before topping with cold foam.
- Add a shot of espresso to create a dirty pumpkin chai for extra caffeine.
- Freeze leftover pumpkin puree in ice cube trays for future use.
- A handheld frother creates the best foam texture, though a whisk can be used in a pinch.
