Ingredients
Units
Scale
Pumpkin Cold Foam
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 tablespoon canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon 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 the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, canned pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup, and pumpkin pie spice into a mason jar or a large glass. Use a milk frother to blend and whisk the mixture vigorously for about 10 to 20 seconds until it becomes whipped and well combined with a creamy, airy texture. Set aside.
- Assemble Chai Latte: Add ice cubes to a serving glass until it is about three-quarters full. Pour in ½ cup of your chosen milk, preferably 2% for creaminess, followed by ½ cup of chai tea concentrate on top. This forms the base of your iced chai latte.
- Top with Pumpkin Foam: Spoon the prepared pumpkin cold foam gently over the iced chai mixture, creating a layered effect with a smooth and flavorful pumpkin spice foam crown. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious blend of pumpkin and chai flavors.
Notes
- Use a milk frother for best results in whipping the pumpkin cold foam; a handheld frother or an electric frother works well.
- You can adjust the sweetness by altering the amount of vanilla syrup in the cold foam.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the dairy milk and cream with plant-based alternatives like oat or almond milk and coconut cream.
- Chai tea concentrate can be store-bought or homemade by brewing strong chai tea.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience, as the foam may settle over time.
