What You Need for One Serving
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- dash vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)
- chai tea bag (regular or decaf)
- 1/2 unsweetened soy milk or any milk of choice

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte
First in a small pot, add water. Turn the stovetop on medium heat. Second, add the pumpkin pie spice.
Next, add the tea bag and cinnamon stick to the pot.
Next, open the can of pumpkin puree. Add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin puree to the pot. Stir well.
Next, add a dash of vanilla extract.
Lastly, add milk of choice. I like to use unsweetened soy milk, but any milk will work.
Additionally, you could add maple syrup if you feel it needs to be sweetener. The natural sweetness from the cinnamon may be enough.
Finally, scoop the tea into a cup and get ready to enjoy!
Suggestions:
- I used Silk unsweetened soy milk in my pumpkin spice chai latte. Since soy milk contains protein and healthy fat, it adds a nice creamy texture to tea and coffee. If you prefer to use another milk, cashew, oat, almond, and dairy milk will work as well.
- Maple syrup or any other sweetener is an optional addition with this pumpkin spice chai latte. You’ll be surprised how much natural sweetness is obtained just from the cinnamon and chai spices. I would suggest trying it before adding maple syrup or another sweetener.
- If you prefer a frothy finish with your pumpkin spice chai latte, you could froth the milk with a handheld frother before adding it to the tea.
