Ingredients
Scale
Main Drink
- 3 oz chai tea concentrate
- 4 oz 2% milk
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam
- ¾ cup 2% milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 ½ tbsp pumpkin spice sauce
- 2 tsp vanilla syrup
Pumpkin Spice Sauce
- 1 14 oz can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin Spice Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir continuously and heat the mixture for about 5 minutes until it becomes bubbly. Remove the pan from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and transfer the sauce to a heat-proof jar or bowl. Place it in the refrigerator to cool thoroughly.
- Make the Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam: In a mason jar, add ¾ cup of 2% milk, ¼ cup heavy cream, 2 ½ tablespoons of the cooled pumpkin spice sauce, and 2 teaspoons vanilla syrup. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well combined. Then use a whisk, frother, or blender to froth the mixture until a thick, creamy foam forms.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with ice and pour in 3 ounces of chai tea concentrate. Add 4 ounces of 2% milk to the glass, mixing gently to combine the flavors.
- Top with Pumpkin Cream Foam: Spoon or pour the prepared pumpkin cream cold foam over the iced chai latte, creating a creamy, spiced layer. Sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top for an extra aromatic finish.
Notes
- You can customize this latte by swapping 2% milk with alternative milk options like oat, almond, or soy to suit dietary preferences.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of pumpkin spice sauce or vanilla syrup used in the cold foam.
- For a stronger chai flavor, increase the chai tea concentrate quantity or brew your own spicy chai tea concentrate at home.
- To make the foam thicker, chill the milk and cream before frothing.
