I love pumpkin and I love chai so mixing the two flavors seemed like the perfect idea for a fall recipe!  This pumpkin chai tea latte recipe is delicious and makes a sweet fall treat for the chai or tea lover.

To make this pumpkin chai tea, I wrapped a variety of spices in a small piece of muslin: a cinnamon stick {broken in half}, ten whole cloves, ten whole allspice, five peppercorns, and a quarter teaspoon of ground cardamom.

{You can find full instructions in the printable recipe card found further down in this post.}

I tied the muslin closed with twine then steeped the muslin spice pack in two cups of boiling water, along with three black tea bags.

When the tea had steeped for about ten minutes and was quite dark and strong, I removed the tea bags and the muslin spice pack from the water and poured the tea mixture into a small saucepan along with two cups of milk.  

I heated the mixture on the stove over low heat and whisked in four tablespoons of canned pureed pumpkin, two teaspoons vanilla extract, and two tablespoons sugar {I don’t like really sweet drinks but you could add more sugar if you want it to be a bit sweeter}.

This spicy pumpkin chai tea latte recipe was delicious and the perfect comforting flavor for fall!  It would be ideal for sipping while cozied up in a wool blanket on the porch on a cool fall day or next to a fire or firepit.
