Pumpkin chai tea lattes typically use pumpkin-pie spices — ginger, cinnamon, cloves and star anise — blended with a bold black tea base. Some descriptions also mention a touch of honey.
Some pumpkin chai lattes are sold as concentrates meant to be mixed with milk at home, while others are offered as ready-to-drink iced lattes that come prepackaged for immediate serving.
Instructions typically recommend mixing equal parts pumpkin spice latte concentrate and your preferred dairy or plant-based milk to make a café-style latte.
Premixed concentrates are quick and easy to use at home, saving time compared with coffee shops and making it simple to create café-style lattes.
Iced pumpkin chai lattes are often finished with a sweet pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice topping.
