Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte

Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte

How good does this pumpkin spice chai latte look?? I can’t believe I never thought to combine the flavors of pumpkin spice and chai before, but I’m so glad I did now! I have now made this pumpkin spice chai latte three times in a short period of time so that should tell you how good it is. 🙂 It is creamy and sweet and full of fall flavor from the pumpkin pie spice. I love that it uses real pumpkin, and that you can adjust the sweetness and flavor to your liking. I didn’t have whipped cream in the house when I made this and took the pictures, but you better believe that next time I’ll be adding a little bit on top. 🙂 We love any sort of chai tea in our house, and this pumpkin spice chai latte is no exception – it’s a new family favorite!
