- 1 ½ cup cold water
- 1 ½ cup milk any variety
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2-3 bags black tea (3 if you want it extra strong)
- 1 Tbsp pumpkin puree
- 2 tsp maple syrup or your preferred sweetener, optional
- 2 Tbsp whipped cream optional
- sprinkle cinnamon for garnish
In a small saucepan, bring the water, pumpkin pie spice, and tea to a boil.
On medium-low heat, add the milk and boil. Be careful that the foam doesn't boil over. Remove the saucepan from the heat while completing the next step. Add the maple syrup and stir. Return the saucepan to the heat for 1-2 minutes, watching to make sure it doesn't boil over.
Turn off the heat. Remove the tea bags, squeezing them out first. Stir in the pumpkin.
To serve, pour the chai into two large mugs, top with whipped cream and cinnamon and enjoy!
