This pumpkin chai latte is made with pumpkin puree and chai tea. It’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup to make a flavorful fall drink. Easy to make vegan and paleo!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened cashew milk
  • 1 chai tea bag
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons (38 grams) pumpkin puree canned
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch or for paleo use arrowroot starch/powder or tapioca starch/flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pour the milk in a small pot. Over medium-high heat, bring the milk to an almost simmer (around 203 °F / 95 °C), and immediately remove it from the heat. Do not let it boil!
    1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened cashew milk
  • Add the tea bag, put a spoon or something on top so that the bag doesn’t float at the top, and let it steep for 5 minutes.
    1 chai tea bag
  • Meanwhile, mix together the pumpkin, maple, pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, starch and vanilla in a small bowl.
    2 1/2 tablespoons (38 grams) pumpkin puree, 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • When the tea is done steeping, press the tea bag up against the side of the pot with a spoon to make sure you extract as much as you can from the tea bag.
  • Whisk the pumpkin mixture into the tea mixture until totally combined. If it's hot enough for you, pour into a cup and top with frothed cashew milk, if desired. If you'd like it warmer, you can reheat it over medium heat on the stovetop. Don't let it simmer!

Notes

  • Paleo people: make sure to use arrowroot starch/powder or tapioca starch/flour instead of cornstarch! Also, make sure your cashew milk and tea bag don't have additives.
