Method
- Brew the chai tea and set it aside to steep until strong, then remove the tea bag or strain the leaves.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the chai tea, 1/2 cup milk, pumpkin purée, caramel sauce, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt until hot and smooth. Do not boil.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or spice if needed, then pour the latte into a serving glass over the ice.
- To make the pumpkin cold foam, combine the heavy cream, 2 tablespoons milk, pumpkin purée, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla in a small bowl or cup.
- Froth the foam with a handheld frother, whisk, or blender until thick, airy, and pourable.
- Spoon or pour the pumpkin cold foam over the latte.
- Drizzle with additional caramel sauce and a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice before serving.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and a cold foam-friendly non-dairy milk or cream alternative. Adjust the caramel, sweetener, and spice to taste depending on how bold and sweet you like your latte.
