Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte
Pumpkin + Chai ... what could be better?!
Ingredients
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 black tea bags
- 3 tsp honey divided, more to taste
- 3/4 cup milk divided
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie filling
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- cinnamon garnish
- ice
Instructions
- Combine the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves in a small bowl and stir to combine. For a finer consistency, put the spice mixture in a spice grinder.
- Combine the boiling water, tea bags, 2 tsp of honey, and spice mixture and allow to steep for 10 minutes. A 2-cup glass measuring cup works well for this step.
- Once the mixture is done steeping, remove the tea bags. Give the mixture a stir. If you didn't grind the spices, you may want to strain the mixture to remove the excess spices. Do this by placing a cheesecloth into a strainer. Position the strainer over a pitcher and pour the mixture into the strainer to remove the sediment.
- Fill your favorite glass with ice. Then pour your homemade chai concentrate to fill the glass about halfway. Store the remainder of the chai concentrate in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Add approximately 1/4 cup milk to your glass and stir.
- Combine 1 teaspoon honey, pumpkin pie filling, 1/2 cup milk, and vanilla extract in a milk frother. You can also use a blender or handheld frother. Froth and pour into your glass.
- Sprinkle the drink with cinnamon and enjoy!
