Healthy Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte

Yields: 1 latte
This is a fall-flavored version of my mom’s favorite chai latte! It’s creamy and very lightly sweetened, and it has lots of cozy spice flavor. You can easily double or triple the recipe to serve more, and it tastes lovely as an iced latte too!

Ingredients 

Instructions

  • Bring the water to a boil. Pour into a mug. Add the chai bags, and let them steep for 5-10 minutes (5 minutes for normal strength, 10 minutes [or more!] for stronger chai flavor).
  • Add the milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and liquid stevia to a small pot. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the milk is hot. Pour into the brewed chai.

Notes

IMPORTANT FLAVOR NOTES – READ BEFORE BEGINNING: If you'd prefer a sweeter latte, increase the liquid stevia.
 
I prefer a stronger spice flavor, so I add more cinnamon (closer to ¼ teaspoon in total). You can definitely adjust the spices to suit your tastes!
 
CHAI NOTE: These are the chai bags that I use! (And if you prefer the traditional coffee version, I have a recipe for a regular coffee-based pumpkin spice latte here!)
 
MILK ALTERNATIVES: Any milk may be substituted for the unsweetened vanilla almond milk. (My other favorite is unsweetened cashew milk because it's so thick and creamy!)
 
SPICES ALTERNATIVE: If you prefer, you can substitute ⅛ teaspoon of pumpkin spice for the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger (or up to of ¼ teaspoon, for a stronger spice flavor!).
 
SWEETENER NOTES + ALTERNATIVES: Since my mom doesn’t like her chai lattes very sweet right now, I only added a teeny bit of liquid stevia. You can definitely add more if you prefer! I buy mine online here because that’s the best price I’ve found. (You’ll also use it in all of these recipes of mine!)
 
Many stevia brands and products have a different sweetness level, so they're not necessarily 1-for-1 substitutes for each other. If using a different stevia product, you may need to adjust the amount to suit your tastes.
 
Any sweetener that easily dissolves in liquids may be substituted for the liquid stevia, so you can also substitute your favorite sweetener instead (honey, pure maple syrup, agave, coconut sugar, etc). Since liquid stevia is very concentrated, you'll need closer to 1-2 teaspoons of any of those aforementioned sweetener options (or more, for a sweeter latte!) to achieve the same sweetness level.
 
DAIRY-FREE + VEGAN OPTION: No modifications needed!
