Ingredients Needed
Tazo Chai Tea Concentrate
This is the base of your drink. It’s a pre-made concentrate that combines black tea, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and other spices for a strong chai flavor. Tazo’s version saves time since you don’t need to brew the tea or add the spices yourself. It’s slightly sweetened, which balances well with the creamy and spiced toppings.
Oat Milk
Oat milk is a great dairy-free option with a smooth texture and natural sweetness. It froths well, making it a good choice for iced or hot drinks. The mild flavor complements the spicy chai without overpowering it, and it blends perfectly with the pumpkin foam.
Ice
Pretty simple, but important for making the drink refreshing! The ice cools down the drink while maintaining the bold flavors of the chai and pumpkin cream.
Pumpkin cold foam ingredients
- Pumpkin Puree This is what gives the foam its pumpkin flavor and signature orange tint. It’s packed with that cozy fall taste, and since it’s unsweetened, you can control the sweetness of the foam by adding sugar or vanilla extract to taste.
- Heavy Cream This is what makes the foam thick and creamy. When whipped, it creates a light texture that floats on top of the chai tea. You can swap it with coconut cream if you can’t find dairy-free heavy cream
- Vanilla Extract A splash of vanilla adds sweetness and depth to the foam. It enhances the overall flavor of the foam without being too overpowering.
- Pumpkin Spice This blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves gives that extra warmth and spice to the pumpkin foam. It’s the ultimate fall flavor boost and ties everything together!
