Description
Indulge in a warming seasonal beverage that marries the deep, earthy richness of pure pumpkin with the vibrant, spicy character of traditional masala chai. This professional-grade latte uses whole ingredients and an infusion technique to create a sophisticated, aromatic drink without the need for artificial syrups. Perfect for cozy autumn mornings, it offers a creamy texture and perfectly balanced sweetness that you can easily customize to your preference.
Ingredients
4 black tea bags (high-quality Assam)
1/2 cup 100% pumpkin puree
2 cups whole milk (or oat milk for vegan alternative)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Whisk the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice in a small saucepan over medium heat until fragrant.
Pour the milk and maple syrup into the saucepan while stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Heat the mixture until small bubbles form around the edges but do not let it reach a full boil.
Remove the pan from the heat and submerge the tea bags into the hot liquid.
Steep the tea for five minutes to extract full body and caffeine.
Remove the tea bags gently while squeezing out the flavorful liquid back into the pot.
Froth the latte using a handheld wand if a foamy texture is desired and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure you squeeze the tea bags well to capture the full concentration of spices. You can use oat milk for a delicious dairy-free version. Adjust the maple syrup to your personal preference for sweetness.
