Serving Suggestions

Serve this iced chai latte in a tall glass over ice, topped with a generous layer of homemade pumpkin cold foam. Sprinkle with extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for a café-style finish. It pairs perfectly with your favorite fall pastry—think pumpkin muffins, cinnamon rolls, or a slice of spice cake.

Savings Suggestions

Skip the Starbucks price tag by using a store-bought chai concentrate and canned pumpkin purée. You can also make a large batch of pumpkin cream and store it in the fridge for multiple drinks throughout the week. Use oat milk, almond milk, or whatever you have on hand to customize and save even more.

FAQs

Can I make this drink hot instead of iced?
Yes! Just warm the chai and milk mixture, then top with warm or room-temp pumpkin cream instead of cold foam.

What’s in Starbucks pumpkin cold foam?
It’s a blend of cream, milk, pumpkin purée, vanilla syrup, and pumpkin pie spice—whipped into a frothy topping.

Is there caffeine in this drink?
Yes, chai tea contains caffeine. If you want a decaf version, use a decaf chai blend.

How long does homemade pumpkin cream last?
Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, it can last 3–4 days. Just shake or whisk before using.

Can I use a milk frother or blender for the foam?
Absolutely! A handheld frother, blender, or even a jar with a tight lid can create that perfect fluffy foam texture.
