Method
Make the chai base
- Brew the chai tea very strong, then cool completely before using.
- Stir in the brown sugar or chai syrup until dissolved, then set the sweetened chai aside.
- Fill a tall clear glass with ice.
- Pour the sweetened chai over the ice.
Make pumpkin cream cold foam
- Combine heavy cream, blotted pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla in a frothing container.
- Froth with a milk frother or shake vigorously until soft foam forms, taking care not to over-whip.
- Slowly pour the pumpkin cream foam over the top of the iced chai.
- Dust with pumpkin pie spice garnish over the foam right before serving.
Notes
For the smoothest foam, blot the pumpkin puree well so it doesn’t thin the cream. Store leftover sweetened chai covered in the fridge up to 24 hours; froth and assemble fresh for best texture. Freezing isn’t recommended since the foam will separate. If you want a lighter option, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free pumpkin cream foam.
