Who needs those overpriced coffee shops when you can make your own pumpkin spice latte from the comfort of your kitchen?
Stir together water, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, cinnamon sticks, ginger, cloves and allspice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
1
When the mixture boils, submerge the tea bags, cover, turn off heat and allow to steep for at least 15 minutes.
2
Strain the pumpkin mixture in a fine-mesh sieve with a small bowl or measuring cup underneath. This should yield 2 cups of chai concentrate.
3
Heat milk in a small saucepan. When it starts to steam, turn off the heat and whisk vigorously. Alternatively, you can use a milk frother.
4
Pour the pumpkin chai concentrate into a latte mug. Then, gently pour the steamed milk on top. If desired, garnish with ground cinnamon.

Put your morning to a festive start with this spiced pumpkin chai latte. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the fall.
Made this over the weekend and was so happy with how it turned out. The chai spice was just right.
