Description
Healthy vegan pumpkin chai latte ready in 10 minutes, made with almond milk, real pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and cozy fall spices. A lighter Starbucks copycat recipe.
Ingredients
1/2 cup water
1 chai tea bag (spiced or rooibos)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp pumpkin purée
1 tsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp pumpkin spice
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: Coconut whipped cream or pumpkin cold foam
Instructions
- Steep Your Chai Base:
Heat water and steep the chai tea bag for 4 minutes, pressing gently to release the warm spice flavors.
- Blend the Pumpkin Mixture:
Blend almond milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth and frothy.
- Heat and Combine:
Warm the pumpkin mixture on the stove until steaming, then pour it into the chai base and stir gently.
- Serve & Garnish:
Top with coconut whipped cream or pumpkin cold foam and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Use maple syrup for natural sweetness and a caramel-like flavor. For a Starbucks-style finish, top with pumpkin cream cold foam. Pair with Sourdough Pumpkin Muffins for a cozy autumn breakfast.
