This recipe for Pumpkin Spice Iced Chai Latte will have you in love at first sip. It has me skipping the drive-thru line and enjoying this fantastic drink at home! Plus it combines my favorite Chai Latte beverage, with pumpkin making for a treat I'll be sipping all autumn long.
Ingredients
This recipe starts with brewing an extra-strong chai tea. Pick your favorite, I used Tazo's Pumpkin Spice Chai, but use what you like or explore something new.
Chai tea is spicy and with sweet notes. Gently sweetening it with just a little bit of sugar or your favorite sweetener enhances the flavor. I like to add a little extra spice in the form of Pumpkin Pie Spice for even more punch. I love the extra spicy notes that the pie spices bring. It makes for a beautifully balanced latte.
Once you have brewed your tea, let it cool. I like to make a batch of this once or twice a week and just keep it in the fridge. This lets me have easy access to an iced latte whenever I need a little mid-day pick-me-up.

The secret is in the Pumpkin Milk
I love anything pumpkin that is not pie and this is my new favorite drink for sure! It's like enjoying strawberry milk in the summer, but for fall!
This is a quick-to-make slightly sweet milk. I simply bring some milk, pumpkin puree, and a little sweetened condensed milk to a simmer, let it steep, then strain and cool. I could probably just drink it straight, but it is a fantastic compliment to the chai tea and makes a great latte.
Feel free to use any milk you like, any type will work if you want to make this dairy-free. Oat-Milk is a great option, and it adds a rich creaminess to your chai latte!
