Substitutions
- Maple syrup - If you want to cut down on added sugar, a little bit of maple syrup or honey would do the trick.
Variations
- Tea bags - You can make this with any type of tea! Black tea also creates a fun flavor for a fall day.
- Milk - Use any type of milk that you want. Unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, skim milk, cashew milk, or any non-dairy milk will all work. Just know that the texture might change a bit depending on the type that is used.
- Vanilla syrup - Adding flavored simple syrup in place of the sugar is a great way to add a pop of flavor.
- Cinnamon stick - Don't forget a stirrer in the mug! Adding a cinnamon stick to this easy pumpkin chai latte is fun, festive, and a simple way to stir.

Equipment
To make this pumpkin chai tea, you just need a mug and a hot water kettle. Or you can simply warm up the water in a microwave-safe mug!
Storage
For the best flavor, this pumpkin latte is best served fresh. It only takes a few minutes of time to make, and it creates the perfect taste and ambiance for the fall season.
If you do happen to have some leftover, you can store it in the fridge, but it's best to drink it asap. Be sure that you give it a stir before taking a sip.
Common Questions
Yes, you can omit or even add more caffeine - totally up to you. Just be sure that you use tea bags that don't have caffeine when making this drink. If you want to add, then you can do that by adding tea bags with added caffeine.
Absolutely. Not everyone is a fan of hot tea drinks, and that's where cold tea comes in. Simply add some ice cubes to a glass or mason jar, and pour the mixture into it. Just like that, you have an iced pumpkin chai latte to enjoy. You'll still get all those fall flavors in a chilled way.
Some places are still a bit warm during fall, so having a cold sipper is never a bad idea!
