This new fall drink has been requested by so many of you and I am happy to say that you can finally recreate it at home and skip the crazy drive-through lanes at your local coffee shop!

This year, as always the fall menu at Starbucks had their ultimate pumpkin spice cold brew as well as their PSL or pumpkin spice latte but they treated us some more with the newest iced pumpkin cream chai tea latte. It is a tea-based drink so no espresso here for anyone who isn’t a huge coffee lover but of course, you can always add espresso to it if you want.

What is the newest Starbucks pumpkin cream chai tea latte drink?

As per the Starbucks website, this drink is described as follows ” It is a blend of black tea infused with warming spices and topped with the famous pumpkin cream cold foam.

This pretty much is made with a mixture of chai concentrate and 2% milk poured over ice and topped with a creamy pumpkin spice-flavored cold foam. The two go so well together, especially for the fall season.

Ingredients for this Starbucks iced pumpkin cream chai tea latte

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this pumpkin spice chai latte. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.

• Chai concentrate- The Tazo Chai tea concentrate gives the closes flavor to the one Starbucks uses in their drink, but feel free to use your favorite chai in this recipe! That’s the beauty of making this recipe at home with ingredients that you actually enjoy!
• Milk- Starbucks uses 2% milk so you can either use that or use any other milk that you have on hand. I love using whole milk or even creamy oat milk for this drink recipe.
• Heavy cream – Make sure that your heavy cream is chilled before you use it.
• Pumpkin spice sauce- You can use homemade pumpkin spice sauce or storebought for this drink. I used the one I made in this recipe. It contains sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, and spices.
• Pumpkin pie spice- This is optional but I love adding a light dusting of pumpkin spice on top of the pumpkin foam to really bring out those fall flavors.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

What are some fun variations for this delicious Starbucks drink?

Some of my favorite variations of this drink would be:

• Adding some caramel sauce to your glass to really give it that fall holiday flavor.
• Turning it into an iced dirty chai latte by adding 1 or 2 espresso shots to the milk and chai concentrate mixture.
• Make the drink itself even more pumpkiny by adding a little of the pumpkin spice sauce into the chai mixture. Be aware that this will make it a little sweeter so taste and see what you prefer.

Can I double the recipe for this delicious pumpkin cream chai tea latte?

Absolutely! This recipe makes enough for one serving but you can click the x2 or x3 in the recipe card to adjust the measurements of r 2 or 3 drinks instead of just one. And guess what!? The price will still be a whole lot cheaper than the one that you would purchase in stores.

Does this drink have caffeine?

This drink does have caffeine, not as much as an espresso drink would but since chai tea is made using black tea you will get a little bit of a kick from it. The Grande Starbucks one has about 95mg of caffeine. No depending on what chai you are using yours can have a little less or more than that. Check your chai container for more info.

Does this drink have a lot of sugar?

Yes, it has a pretty hefty amount of sugar per serving because of the chai concentrate that it uses.

Can I make the Starbucks iced pumpkin cream chai tea latte with less sugar?

Yes! My biggest tip would be to use a sugar-free chai tea concentrate to lessen the amount of sugar in your drink. This will in turn lower the amount of calories in your beverage as well.

What other fall menu items did Starbucks release?

Alongside the OG’s, aka the loved pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin cream cold brew, as well as apple crisp macchiato, they also brought a new iced oatmilk apple crisp shaken espresso drink as well as a delicious baked apple croissant filled with warm apple filling.
