Ingredients
Method
- Boil the 1 cup of water, steep the 2 chai tea bags for 5 minutes, squeeze the bags, and discard them. Stir in the 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice until dissolved.
- Pour the 1 cup whole milk into a tall glass, add the chai concentrate, stir for 15 seconds, and fill the glass with ice.
- Combine the 3 tbsp heavy cream, 2 tbsp whole milk, 2 tbsp pumpkin puree, 1 tbsp maple syrup, ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice, and ¼ tsp vanilla extract in a small blender or frother. Blend for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and foamy.
- Pour the pumpkin cream cold foam over the back of a spoon onto the iced chai, dust with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice, and serve immediately.
Notes
The chai concentrate can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge. The cold foam is best made fresh right before serving since it deflates quickly. If your foam sinks instead of sitting on top, the cream wasn't cold enough or wasn't frothed long enough.
