Scale
Pumpkin Cold Foam
- 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
Chai Tea Latte
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (2% milk recommended)
- 1/2 cup chai tea concentrate
Instructions
- Prepare Pumpkin Cold Foam: Add all the pumpkin foam ingredients into a mason jar or glass. Using a milk frother, froth the mixture until it becomes whipped and well-combined, which should take about 10-20 seconds. Set the foam aside for topping.
- Assemble the Iced Chai Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes, then pour in ½ cup of your preferred milk followed by ½ cup of chai tea concentrate.
- Top and Serve: Spoon the prepared pumpkin cold foam over the iced chai mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, autumn-inspired chai latte.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use plant-based milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or vanilla syrup in the pumpkin foam.
- Use a high-quality chai concentrate for the best flavor.
- To make your own chai concentrate, brew strong chai tea and reduce it by simmering.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, as the foam will start to dissolve over time.
