Ingredients

1/3 cup pumpkin puree see notes
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice
2½ cups milk divided
3 chai tea bags
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a medium sauce pan, add the pumpkin puree, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Heat on medium to medium-low heat stirring often until slightly thicker, resembling tomato paste. About 5 mintues.
Pour in the milk and heat until steaming hot. Not boiling. Remove off of the heat and add the 3 chai tea bags. Steep for 5 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and whisk in the vanilla. Keep warm on low heat while preparing the frothy milk.
Add 1/2 cup of milk in a small skillet. Heat on high, whisking vigerously until frothy. This takes only a few minutes.
Divide the pumpkin spice chai latte into 2 mugs, and spoon frothy milk over the top. If desired, add a small pinch of pumpkin spice.

Notes

If small pumpkin fibers and/or the collection of spice at the bottom of your mug weirds you out, you may want to pour it through a few layers of cheesecloth before pouring it into mugs and serving.
