As soon as sweater weather starts teasing but the temps are still hanging in summer mode, this Iced Chai Latte with Pumpkin Spice Cream is the answer. It layers spicy chai with smooth, chilled milk and tops it off with a thick, pumpkin-spiced cream that slowly melts into every sip.
If you love fall flavors but aren’t ready to dive headfirst into a hot PSL, this is the drink to make. It’s got the warmth of chai, a whisper of pumpkin, and a cloud of sweet, spiced foam that turns an everyday drink into something special. Each sip feels like the beginning of cozy season, without the heat.
Helpful Tips
- Pick the right chai: Go for a chai concentrate with bold spices and minimal sweetness to balance the pumpkin cream.
- Froth is key: A milk frother or stick blender gives you that dreamy, coffeehouse-style foam.
- Use any milk you like: Anything works here. Use whole milk, half and half, skim, almond, oat, or soy milk.
