Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte
This Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte is easy to make and has healthier ingredients than one you would buy at your typical coffee shop. It is made with real pumpkin and sweetened with pure maple syrup. I use a combination of almond and coconut milk, so this version is also dairy-free. Enjoy the latte served hot or poured over ice for a cold drink.
- 3 Tbsp. canned pumpkin
- 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. cloves, ground
- 1/8 tsp. ginger, ground
- 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 3/4 cups almond milk
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 3 chai tea bags
- frothed almond milk or whipped coconut cream for topping
In a small saucepan, combine the pumpkin, maple syrup and spices over medium heat, blending well. Add the almond milk and coconut milk, and whisk well to combine. Bring the flavored milk to a boil. Remove from heat, and add the vanilla and three chai tea bags. Steep the tea for five minutes. Remove the tea bags, and pour into two mugs. Top with frothed almond milk or whipped coconut cream.
