Pumpkin Chai Latte (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Pumpkin Chai Latte Base

01 - 2 tsp ground Indian Chai tea mix
02 - 2 cups coconut milk (from can, or milk of choice)
03 - 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
04 - 6 tbsp maple syrup
05 - Pinch of sea salt (less than 1/8 teaspoon)
06 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

→ Optional Toppings

07 - Homemade Coconut Whipped Cream
08 - Double Coconut Salted Caramel Sauce

# Instructions:

01 - Whisk together all the ingredients for the pumpkin latte base in a medium sized pan.
02 - Heat the mixture over medium heat for 6-10 minutes or until hot but not boiling. Maintain a temperature under boiling to prevent curdling while ensuring the tea steeps properly.
03 - To make the latte frothy, whisk vigorously while heating to create a foam layer, or transfer to a blender for additional foam. An espresso machine or handheld milk frother will produce the best thick foam.
04 - Pour the finished latte mixture into 4 glasses and top with optional whipped cream and caramel sauce drizzle.
05 - For an elegant presentation, 'paint' lines of caramel sauce up the sides of each glass to create a striped effect.
