Ingredients
Ice
3 oz chai tea concentrate
4 oz 2% milk
Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam:
¾ cup 2% milk
¼ cup heavy cream
2½ tablespoons pumpkin spice sauce
2 teaspoons vanilla syrup (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
Pumpkin Spice Sauce:
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the pumpkin spice sauce: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine condensed milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until it begins to bubble. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and chill in the fridge.
- Make the pumpkin cream cold foam: Combine ¾ cup milk, heavy cream, pumpkin spice sauce, and vanilla syrup in a jar. Shake or whisk together, then froth with a handheld frother until creamy. Store in fridge if not using immediately.
- Assemble the drink: Fill a glass with ice, pour in the chai concentrate and milk, and stir well.
- Spoon pumpkin cream cold foam over the top and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.
Notes
- Add 1–2 shots of espresso for a Dirty Pumpkin Chai variation.
- Use dairy-free milk like oat, soy, or almond for a vegan version.
- Reduce sugar with sugar-free vanilla syrup or less pumpkin spice sauce.
- Try a hot version by warming the chai and milk and topping with cold foam.
- Store pumpkin spice sauce for up to 1 week and cold foam for 3–4 days in the fridge.
