Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup unsweetened oat milk (preferably barista edition)
- 1/2 cup chai concentrate (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Ice cubes (large cubes preferred)
- Optional: cinnamon stick, star anise, or nutmeg for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Mash and stir until completely smooth.
- Warm 1 cup oat milk in the microwave for 20 seconds or on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 30 seconds, just until the chill is off.
- Pour the warm oat milk into the pumpkin mixture and whisk vigorously until fully combined and smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup chai concentrate and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as desired.
- Transfer the mixture to a mason jar or cocktail shaker. Add a generous handful of ice cubes (about 6 to 8 large cubes). Screw on the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well-chilled and slightly frothy.
- Fill a tall 16-ounce glass with fresh ice cubes.
- Pour the shaken latte over the fresh ice. Sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or star anise if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
Warming the oat milk before mixing prevents pumpkin clumps. For best texture, use barista edition oat milk. The pumpkin-oat milk base can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the fridge. Add chai concentrate fresh before serving. If the drink sits for more than 5 minutes, stir with a straw before sipping as pumpkin puree may settle.
