Print Recipe

A creamy, spiced iced chai latte with real pumpkin and oat milk, perfect for fall. This easy homemade recipe comes together in under 10 minutes with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 2 black tea bags (Assam or English Breakfast)
  • 2 green cardamom pods (optional)
  • 1 small cinnamon stick (optional)
  • 2 whole cloves (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk (barista blend recommended)
  • Ice (enough to fill a tall glass)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup (120 ml) water to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and add 2 black tea bags and whole spices (if using: 2 cardamom pods, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 cloves). Let steep for 5-7 minutes.
  2. While chai steeps, in a small bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons (30 g) pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. After steeping, remove tea bags and whole spices using a fine-mesh strainer or slotted spoon. Return saucepan to low heat. Add pumpkin spice base and whisk constantly until smooth and heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Do not let it boil.
  4. Fill a tall glass to the brim with ice. Pour the warm pumpkin chai mixture over the ice.
  5. Slowly pour 1 cup (240 ml) cold oat milk over the ice and chai mixture. Stir well with a long spoon.
  6. Serve immediately while ice is fresh.

Notes

For a hot version, skip the ice and add oat milk directly to the saucepan, heating gently until steaming. The pumpkin chai base can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For extra froth, use a handheld milk frother after pouring the oat milk.
