Love Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte and want to try making it at home? Here’s an easy Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte recipe the lazy way!
This recipe was inspired by Starbucks’s Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte but simplified so you can make it at home with minimal effort.
And for those that say, “It’s still summer, why are we drinking fall drinks?”, I’m here to tell you that my local World Market has sold out of their first batch of Pumpkin Spice Syrup! So, if see fall syrups and drink items…get it early! This drink is also iced, so it’s the perfect summer-to-fall transition drink. Of course, feel free to warm it up in the microwave when it starts to get chilly.
Can I Make a Large Batch of Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte?
Yes! The large batch option is best if there are multiple pumpkin drink lovers in the household. This way, you only need to pour it into your cup with ice and top with whipped cream and pumpkin spice (both are optional). Note: The large batch will keep 5-7 days in the fridge, but my family drinks it within 2 days! Just make sure to check the milk expiration date to ensure it will be good for at least 7 days.
Easy Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte
Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte Ingredients:
- Tazo Classic Latte Chai Black Tea – This comes in a box and is already premade. It can be found in the tea section of grocery stores. Substitute with your favorite Chai tea mix.
- Milk – Use any milk you desire. I prefer to use Lactaid or regular milk as it provides the best creaminess. I have made it with unsweetened Almond milk and it does lose some of the creaminess.
- Pumpkin Spice Syrup – I use the Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup in brown bottle. It looks like a caramel sauce and is nice and thick. If you can’t find it, subsitute Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup in the clear bottle. Just know that the flavor will be slightly different.
- Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream – If your grocery store sells pumpkin spice whipped cream in a bottle, get this for convenience. If not, just use heavy whipping cream + powdered sugar + pumpkin pie spice.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – Use to garnish and add to the drink if you want more spice flavor. Plain whipped cream can be substituted, but it will have a subtle flavor change.
- Ice – Don’t skip adding ice. I initially skipped adding ice, but it helps make the drink taste more like the inspiration drink.
Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte Supplies:
- Serving cup – Use a larger cup if you plan on adding ice. For example, use a 16 ounce cup for a 12 ounce drink if adding ice.
- Spoon or stir sticks – This helps to blend the pumpkin syrup with the milk and chai tea.
- Kitchen Scale – I like to use a digital kitchen scale for better accuracy, but this recipe can be made with measuring spoons/cups.
- Measuring Spoons/Cups – Needed if you don’t have a digital kitchen scale.
- Pitcher (optional) – If you choose to make a large batch it’s best to use a leak-proof pitcher so that it can be shaked before serving.

Notes
Using a digital scale is the most accurate, but measuring spoons/cups can be used.
- 2% milk and non-dairy milk can be used. Non-dairy milk will change the flavor.
- Torani Pumpkin Pie Syrup is best, but Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup can be substituted.
- Use regular whipped cream if Pumpkin Spice whipped cream is not available.
If you want to drink this warm during the fall/winter season, omit the ice and warm up the milk tea mixture in the microwave to your liking. Then top with Pumpkin Spice whipped cream.
