Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years.

Pumpkin Chai Latte

[heart_this] · Nov 4, 2016 · 7 Comments

Pumpkin Chai Latte

An aromatic, smooth and creamy pumpkin chai latte with actual pumpkin in it!

With the holidays quickly approaching there are going to be a lot of busy days and it’s nice to take a break every once in a while and enjoy a decadent drink. Pumpkin spiced latte is a good option that is easy to make at home and its also really good with tea rather than coffee! When I think about a pumpkin and spice tea I can’t help but think about chai tea which is a black tea that has a few aromatic and warm warm spices mixed in. The spices used in chai tea vary and for this pumpkin chai latte I like to go with some pumpkin inspired spices including cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger, along with more typical chai spices like cardamom and star anise. Of course you could keep things simple and just use bags of your favourite chai tea! Once you have the strong brewed chai tea you simply add it to some milk along with plenty of pumpkin puree and sweeten as desired. This pumpkin chai latte is the perfect way to relax and unwind or reward yourself after a busy day!

    Such a comforting and warming beverage. I happen to have a fair amount of pumpkin puree left, and this I must try.

    Sounds interesting for us from Europe. I love your recipes, but wonder, why do you all say chai tea, when chai means tea, so you are saying tea tea=

    Bookworm: Great question! It should be Masala Chai or in this case perhaps Pumpkin Masala Chai.
