Ingredients
1 cup strong brewed chai tea (chilled)
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
1 cup ice cubes
Optional: Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
Step 1: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Add the chilled chai tea to the pumpkin mixture and stir vigorously or shake in a sealed jar until the pumpkin is fully incorporated into the tea.
Step 3: Fill a large glass (16 oz) with ice cubes.
Step 4: Pour the pumpkin-chai mixture over the ice.
Step 5: Top with your milk of choice. Stir gently if you want a marbled look, or thoroughly for a consistent flavor.
Step 6: Optional: Top with whipped cream and an extra dash of pumpkin pie spice for a cafe-style finish.
Notes
For a smoother texture, you can strain the pumpkin-chai mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring over ice.
