Ingredients
  

For the Drink
  • 3 oz Chai tea concentrate
  • 4 oz 2% milk
  • 3 oz Pumpkin cream cold foam recipe below
For the Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 2.5 tablespoon Pumpkin spice sauce store-bought or recipe below
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla syrup store-bought or recipe linked; can substitute with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Pumpkin Spice Sauce
  • 1 14 oz can Fat-free sweetened condensed milk use regular if you can't find fat-free
  • 1 cup Pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Glass
  • Mason jar
  • Electric frother
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Add chai tea concentrate to an ice-filled glass. Pour milk into glass.
  2. Top drink with pumpkin cream cold foam and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice over the top.
  3. Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam: Mix milk, cream, vanilla syrup, and pumpkin spice sauce in a mason jar and shake to combine. Alternatively, stir all ingredients together in a bowl. If not using right away, keep in an airtight container in the fridge.
  4. Turn mixture into cold foam right before using. Use an electric frother, hand mixer, or blender to froth, mix, or blend until the mixture turns into a foam. Alternatively, shake the mixture in a mason jar until frothy.
  5. Pumpkin Spice Sauce: Put condensed milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  6. Stir together and heat for about 5 minutes, until it's just starting to bubble.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour the pumpkin spice sauce into a heat-proof jar or bowl and place in the fridge to cool.

Notes

If you want to make your own vanilla syrup, use a separate recipe. If you don't have vanilla syrup, substitute with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This recipe makes enough pumpkin spice sauce for about 8 lattes. Each batch of pumpkin cream cold foam is enough for 3 drinks. Store the cold cream in the fridge and whip into cold foam when ready to make a drink. For a syrup-like pumpkin spice sauce, use a different recipe.
