Fall flavors are all about warmth, spice, and that cozy feeling of autumn in every sip. Our Golden Pumpkin Chai, made with Maple Pumpkin Spice Tea, is a soothing and vibrant drink that’s perfect for crisp fall mornings or quiet evenings by the fire.
This chai highlights the naturally sweet rooibos base, infused with warming cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, nutmeg, and a touch of maple syrup, creating a golden-hued drink that’s as comforting as it is delicious.
Why This Chai Works
The turmeric in the Maple Pumpkin Spice blend gives this chai a beautiful golden color and subtle earthy flavor, while the spices provide warmth and depth. Frothing your milk adds creaminess, turning it into a perfect latte-style drink that’s cozy and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1–2 tsp Maple Pumpkin Spice Tea
- ½ cup hot water
- ½ cup milk of your choice (oat, almond, dairy, etc.)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- Garnish: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Brew the Tea: Steep the Maple Pumpkin Spice Tea in hot water for 5–7 minutes. Stronger brew gives a richer flavor.
- Heat & Froth Milk: Warm milk and froth until creamy. No frother? Whisk or shake in a sealed jar.
- Combine & Sweeten: Pour frothed milk into the brewed tea. Add honey or extra maple syrup if desired.
- Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for that perfect autumn look and flavor.
Pro Tips
- For a vegan version, use oat or almond milk and maple syrup.
- Double the tea strength and simmer gently for a spiced “mulled” version.
- Serve in a clear glass mug to show off the golden color—Instagram-worthy fall vibes!
