A creamy, spiced autumn beverage that combines the warm flavors of chai tea with pumpkin and cool, refreshing ice. Perfect for cozy mornings or afternoon pick-me-ups.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the tea bags, ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Let it steep for about 5 minutes.
After steeping, remove the tea bags and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any loose spices.
Stir in the pumpkin puree and maple syrup until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. Once chilled, divide the pumpkin chai mixture between two glasses filled with ice cubes.
In a separate saucepan, heat the milk until steaming (but not boiling).
Froth the milk using a frother or whisk until it becomes foamy.
Pour the frothed milk over the pumpkin chai mixture in each glass.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for garnish.
