In this version of pumpkin spice chai tea, we combine traditional chai spices with pumpkin sweetness in a warm and flavorful harmony. The result is a fragrant, satisfying cup that’s easy to make at home and just as delicious as your favorite café’s version.

A Fall Favorite with a Twist

There’s something magical about the deep aroma of pumpkin chai tea. With hints of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and clove, it warms from the inside out. When blended with rich milk and pumpkin syrup, the spices come alive—creating a cup that tastes like autumn in every sip.

This recipe simplifies the process without sacrificing flavor. The use of pre-steeped chai or a strong chai bag saves time, while pumpkin syrup does the heavy lifting of sweetness and spice.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

  • 1 chai tea bag or ½ cup strongly brewed chai
  • ¾ cup milk of your choice (whole, oat, almond, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons Syruvia Pumpkin Spice Syrup (pure cane or sugar-free)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish (optional)

How to Make It

Start by brewing your pumpkin chai tea base. Steep the chai tea bag in ½ cup of hot water for 5–7 minutes. If you're using loose chai, make sure it's strong and aromatic. Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves and set aside.

In a small saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam—don’t let it boil. Stir in the pumpkin spice syrup and optional vanilla, whisking gently to combine. If you like a frothy texture, use a milk frother or whisk vigorously by hand.

Once the milk is ready, pour the brewed chai into a mug and top it with the sweetened pumpkin milk. Stir to blend. Garnish with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a little extra spice and serve immediately.

A Sip of the Season

This homemade pumpkin chai delivers rich, spiced flavor with minimal effort. Whether you enjoy it first thing in the morning or as an afternoon treat, it’s a warm reminder of everything you love about fall—one soothing sip at a time.
