So today, we offer a bountiful feast of flavor by way of 4 fall drink recipes. These are super easy to make at home, with opportunities to customize into single or batch recipes to share. And of course our pairings have on-the-go enjoyment in mind but these are also perfect for staying in or hosting guests.

Pumpkin Chai Latte
Ingredients:
*Makes 2 servings
¼ cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons brown sugar or sweetener of choice
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 green cardamom pods crushed or ground cardamom
1 star anise
¼ teaspoon ground ginger or 1 inch piece fresh ginger for more spice
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper optional
2 cups milk of your choice
2-3 tablespoons loose leaf black tea or 2-3 black tea bags
How to Make:
In a medium saucepan, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and spices. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is fragrant and darker in color.
Add milk to saucepan and stir well to combine. Heat on medium heat until it simmers. If using plant-based milk, do NOT bring it to a boil or it will curdle – just heat until very hot.
Turn off the heat before sprinkling in tea leaves or dropping tea bags into the hot milk. Steep for 2-5 minutes covered.
Strain tea through a sieve or strainer into a large glass. Froth with a whisk or frother and pour into mugs of your choice.
