    This homemade pumpkin chai latte boasts the delicious flavors of real pumpkin puree and chai topped with your favorite milk. It’s so easy to make this pumpkin spice chai latte. Your cup will be brimming with warm spices, black tea, and steamed milk in no time! It’s one of my favorite tea recipes.

    I combined my homemade pumpkin syrup, chai concentrate, and steamed milk to make the ultimate copycat version of Starbucks pumpkin chai. It’s a near perfect dupe of the coffee shop drink. As a bonus? All the components can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until ready to use!

    All the ingredients for a pumpkin chai latte are in various glass measuring bowls on a rimmed baking sheet.
