    About This Recipe

    Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte is a Starbucks copycat drink that is a twist on Pumpkin Spice Latte by replacing coffee with chai.

    Made from scratch, this fall favorite is a beautiful blend of chai tea, real pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and milk of your choice. It has an utterly cream texture and comforting flavors from the warm spices.

    This homemade chai latte tastes exactly like Starbuck’s pumpkin spice chai tea – rich, spicy, and perfectly sweet. So next time you crave one, you know it is easy to make at home!

    This chai tea right here is nothing close to regular Indian milk tea, but I am sure you will love its distinct taste and aromatic flavors.

    This pumpkin spice chai latte recipe is vegetarian, gluten-free, and can be easily made vegan. It can be doubled or tripled too.

    Ingredients

    Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Ingredients.

    Milk – I like to make pumpkin chai latte with whole milk (full-fat milk) as it makes the drink rich and creamy but you can use milk of choice. Use skim or low-fat milk to make the drink healthier.

    Use plant-based milk like almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, etc to make this drink vegan.

    Chai Tea – Buy any Indian black tea to make this chai Latte. I like to use black tea bags as it makes the process easier but you can also use loose tea leaves.

    Pumpkin Puree – Make pumpkin puree at home with fresh pumpkins using my pumpkin puree recipe or buy a can.

    Pumpkin Spice Mix – Make a batch of pumpkin pie spice at home or buy a bottle.

    Dark Brown Sugar – Use dark brown sugar for a deep caramelized taste. Maple syrup or honey are good alternatives in case you want to avoid sugar.

    Vanilla Extract – Add in the best quality one for the aromatic flavor. A good vanilla extract makes everything better, isn’t it?

    You can also add some black pepper powder or crushed ginger root for a spicy kick.

    How To Make Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte

    Stir together 2 cups milk, 2 chai tea bags, 2 tablespoon pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoon dark brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice in a saucepan.

    Note – If you like stronger tea flavor, then double up the tea bags!

    Milk, tea bags, pumpkin puree, dark brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice added to a pan.

    Heat the mixture over medium-low heat for 5-6 minutes.

    Discard the tea bags and add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the pan and stir well.

    Tea bags discarded.

    Froth the mixture using an electric frother, a handheld electric or manual frother, or a French press.

    Frothing the mixture.

    Pour into two cups and serve hot.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to use loose tea to make pumpkin spice chai latte?

    To make it with loose tea, brew the tea with milk for 2-3 minutes, strain it and then mix it with other ingredients – pumpkin puree, dark brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Cook it for another 3 to 4 minutes, add vanilla extract and stir well. Froth the mixture, pour into cups, top with whipped cream and serve immediately.

    How to froth the milk?

    You can froth the milk using a frother of a coffee machine, handheld electric or manual frother, immersion blender, or a French press. Make sure the milk is hot when you froth it.

    To froth in a French press, pour the drink into one, filling it halfway. Put the lid on and pump the plunger a few times until the drink doubles in volume.

    Serving Suggestions

    This Pumpkin Spice Tea is the ultimate beverage for your fall tea parties.

    Teacakes or homemade cookies can be served with this refreshing and warm beverage.

    You can try some of these accompaniments – almond cookies, buttery piped shortbread cookies, apple cinnamon cake, or vanilla pound cake.
