Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup chai tea concentrate
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (whole milk or oat milk work best)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon 2% milk
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree (canned)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or vanilla syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam In a small bowl or a glass jar, combine the heavy whipping cream, 2% milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice. Use a handheld milk frother to blend the mixture until it is thick, bubbly, and has doubled in volume. This usually takes about 30 to 45 seconds of frothing.
- Step 2: Mix the Chai Base Fill a tall glass with one cup of ice cubes. Pour the chai tea concentrate directly over the ice. Add your preferred milk of choice—such as whole milk for creaminess or oat milk for a nutty flavor—and stir the two liquids together until the color is uniform and the mixture is chilled.
- Step 3: Assemble and Layer Slowly pour the prepared pumpkin cream cold foam over the top of the iced chai. The foam should sit on top of the liquid initially and then gradually swirl down, creating a beautiful marble effect. Sprinkle an extra dash of pumpkin pie spice on top for a professional finish.
