Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the chai tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the chai concentrate cool slightly.
In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until warm. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream (or plant-based whipping cream), pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a milk frother or whisk to whip the mixture until it forms a light and airy foam.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled chai concentrate into the glass, followed by the spiced milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Carefully spoon the pumpkin cold foam over the iced chai latte, creating a thick, creamy layer on top.
Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Iced Chai Latte with Pumpkin Cold Foam.
Notes
For a vegan option, use plant-based whipping cream and a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk. Adjust sweetness to taste by using your preferred sweetener.
