About the Recipe
I've experimented with quite a few pumpkin based drinks and I can honestly say that this is the pick of the bunch. Pumpkin seems to match the flavour of brown tea much better than coffee. It makes a nice creamy drink for when the nights are closing in and you want something warming a a little different.
Ingredients
170 ml / 6 floz hot water
1 strong English tea bag
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
A dash of ginger powder
A dash of clove powder
A dash of nutmeg powder
2 tbsp pumpkin puree
2 tsp maple syrup
100ml / 3.5 floz mik
For the topping (optional)
Whipped cream
A pinch of cinnamon
Preparation
Pour the hot water into a small saucepan. Add the teabag and bring to a simmer.
Add the cinnamon, ginger, clove and nutmeg powder to the saucepan.
Next, add the pumpkin puree and maple syrup to the saucepan. Remove the tea bag and stir everything well.
Pour the milk into the saucepan. Stir and heat to a simmer but do not let your tea boil (to prevent a skin forming or curdling.)
Pour your Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte in a glass or cup. Just before serving, top with some whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder.
