About:

Pumpkin spice chai latte made with natural ingredients: pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup and spices.

Chai adds sweet and spicy flavors to a creamy pumpkin “latte”, making this drink a decadent treat perfect for fall.  The pumpkin and chai spices shine through delightfully – kind of like a pumpkin pie in liquid form.

Serves-2
Preparation time-5 minutes
Cooking time-15 minutes

Ingredients:

For spice mix:

• Pumpkin puree-1/4cup (i used more as i love pumpkin taste)
• Maple syrup/ any sweetner-1-2tbsp
• Ground cinnmon-1tbsp
• Minced ginger-1/2tsp (alternatively ground ginger can also be used)
• Ground nutmeg-1/4tsp
• Dash of cloves
• Vanilla extract-1/2tsp

For chai:

• Milk-1cup (whole, semi-skimmed, almond or any)
• Tea bag- 1
• Water-1/2cup

Procedure:

• In a small saucepan bring 1/2cup water to gentle boil.
• As it boils remove from heat and add the tea bag and let it seep for 4-5minutes.
• Before removing the tea bag, squeeze any water remaining out by pressing the tea bag and discard the bag.
• Add milk, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves to the pan and pour the mixture into a stand blender and blend for a minute/two, until blended together and the drink is nice and creamy.
• Pour the mixture back into the pan and gently rewarm on the stove, then pour into the mug.
• Can serve with whipped cream/coconut cream if desired.

Note:

• I haven’t used any whipped cream for serving so i used extra pumpkin puree for frothy and creamy texture.
• Sweetener can be altered as per the taste.
• Spices can be personalised as per the taste.
