Description
A delightful Starbucks copycat recipe for an Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte, featuring a creamy and spiced pumpkin cold foam layered atop chilled chai tea and milk for a perfect fall-inspired iced beverage.
Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Cold Foam:
- 2 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 tablespoon canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or vanilla syrup)
- ⅛ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Chai Tea Latte:
- ½ cup milk of choice (2% recommended)
- ½ cup chai tea concentrate
Instructions
- Prepare Pumpkin Foam: Add heavy whipping cream, whole milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice into a mason jar or glass. Use a milk frother to whip the mixture until it is frothy and well-combined, about 20 seconds. Set aside.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Pour in ½ cup milk of choice followed by ½ cup chai tea concentrate.
- Add Pumpkin Foam: Gently spoon the prepared pumpkin cold foam on top of the iced chai tea mixture to create a creamy layering effect.
- Serve and Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your homemade iced pumpkin cream chai tea latte immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use chilled chai tea concentrate to keep the drink cold without diluting the flavor.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with vanilla syrup for a different sweetness profile.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder spice flavor.
- For a vegan option, substitute dairy with coconut cream and plant-based milk.
- The pumpkin foam is best used immediately after frothing to maintain its creamy texture.
