Iced Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte with Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam is a delightful fall beverage that combines the warm spices of chai with the comforting flavor of pumpkin. Here's a homemade recipe for you to enjoy:
Ingredients:
**For the Chai Latte:**
- 1 chai tea bag or 2 tablespoons loose chai tea
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1-2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (adjust to taste)
- 2-3 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
**For the Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam:**
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or non-dairy alternative (e.g., oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1-2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener of your choice (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
**Instructions:**
**1. Prepare the Chai Latte:**
1. Steep the chai tea in hot water for about 5 minutes, or follow the instructions on the tea packaging if using loose chai tea.
2. Remove the tea bag or strain out the loose tea.
3. Let the chai concentrate cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill.
4. Once the chai concentrate is cold, add the milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice syrup to a glass.
5. Stir well to combine.
6. Add ice cubes to the glass.
7. Pour the chilled chai concentrate over the ice and stir again.
8. Taste and adjust the sweetness or pumpkin flavor if needed.
**2. Prepare the Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam:**
1. In a separate container, combine the heavy cream (or non-dairy alternative), pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
2. Use a hand frother or a whisk to froth the mixture until it's thick and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
3. The cold foam should be thick enough to float on top of your latte.
**3. Assemble the Iced Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte:**
1. Gently spoon the pumpkin cream cold foam on top of your chai latte.
2. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top for garnish.
3. Insert a reusable straw and serve immediately.
