Ingredients
- 1 chai tea bag
- 1 cup plain unsweetened soy milk (divided if using a frother)
- 3 Tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
Start by boiling some water in a kettle or small pot.
Put the chai tea bag into a mug and pour just enough boiling hot water to cover it (about 1/4 cup should do it). Use a small spoon to keep the tea bag submerged in the hot water. Steep the tea for 5 to 7 minutes.
While the tea is steeping, add the soy milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup to a small pot. Whisk to combine while heating on medium-low or medium. You want it warm or simmering but not boiling.
Remove the tea bag from the mug and squeeze out any excess water from the tea bag. Then, carefully pour the pumpkin spice latte mixture from the small pot into the mug with the chai tea and stir to combine.
For a frothy latte, take the remaining 1/4 cup of soy milk and, using a frother wand or a milk frother and steamer, froth until light and foamy.
Carefully pour the remaining frothed soy milk on top of the latte, and enjoy!
