kcalIngredients
1 cup grassfed milk (dairy or your choice of non-dairy milk like almond, soy, or oat)
1/2 cup water
2 chai tea bags
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

Directions
- In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from heat, add the chai tea bags, and let steep for about 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags.

- For a frothy texture, you can use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend for about 20 seconds.
