Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Cold Foam
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk (or almond, oat, or soy milk)
- 1/4 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree (or fresh pumpkin puree)
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (or sugar-free syrup or agave)
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove)
Iced Chai Latte
- 1 cup Milk of Choice (2% recommended, lactose-free or nut milk works)
- 1/2 cup Chai Tea Concentrate (or strongly brewed chai tea bags)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and ensure that your pumpkin puree and milk are chilled for the best iced latte experience.
- Prepare Pumpkin Cold Foam: In a mason jar or glass, combine the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, canned pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a milk frother to whip the mixture until it becomes well blended and frothy, which usually takes about 10 to 20 seconds.
- Make the Iced Chai Latte: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Pour in 1/2 cup of your chosen milk followed by 1/2 cup of chai tea concentrate. Stir well to combine and chill the flavors evenly.
- Assemble & Serve: Generously dollop the prepared pumpkin cold foam on top of your iced chai latte. Gently stir before enjoying your creamy, spiced fall beverage.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream to make this recipe dairy-free.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount or type of syrup used, such as maple syrup, agave, or sugar-free syrup.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, blend cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove to replicate the flavor.
- Use a milk frother or an immersion blender to achieve the best frothy foam texture.
- For a stronger chai flavor, brew chai tea bags longer or use more concentrated chai concentrate.
