Method
- Brew the chai tea and set it aside. If you prefer a stronger flavor, steep it a little longer than usual.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the chai tea, milk, pumpkin puree, caramel sauce, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Heat gently until steaming and well combined, whisking often. Do not let it boil.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or caramel as needed, then pour the latte base into a glass filled with ice.
- To make the pumpkin cold foam, combine the heavy cream or half-and-half, milk or cream, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract in a bowl or tall container.
- Froth with a milk frother, whisk, or handheld mixer until thick, creamy, and lightly airy.
- Spoon or pour the pumpkin cold foam over the iced latte.
- Drizzle with additional caramel sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
For a sweeter latte, add more caramel sauce or maple syrup to taste. Half-and-half can be used instead of heavy cream for a lighter foam, and the drink can be served warm by skipping the ice.
