Pumpkin Spice Recipes to Prepare for Fall

It’s hard to believe that autumn is just around the corner, but with it comes a flavor we know and love: pumpkin spice! Once again, Pumpkin Spice Puer returns to our offerings list as a staple fall favorite. However, something is new this year—we’ve added a caffeine-free Pumpkin Spice Chai to our seasonal lineup! This herbal blend is reminiscent of your favorite fall dessert, with warming notes of ginger and cinnamon over a bed of honeybush. Your customers can now enjoy the flavors of pumpkin spice any time of day in a variety of ways! To help you prepare for pumpkin spice season, Caitlin Normann has created two new recipes so you can work on incorporating this popular flavor with your fall menu.

Pumpkin Spice Tea Latte with Cinnamon Cold Foam

To make our most-requested fall blend, loose shou puer is blended with warming spices to create this traditional, well-loved flavor!

Ingredients

For the latte:

6g Pumpkin Spice Puer
70g water at 195°F
Dairy or plant-based milk of choice (We recommend using oat or almond milk for a complementary flavor profile.)
Ice

For the cold foam:

2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
1½ tsp ground cinnamon (or to taste)
1 tsp granulated sugar, optional

Directions

1. Steep Pumpkin Spice Puer for 4–5 minutes in 70g of water. Once brewed, remove tea leaves with a strainer.
2. In a glass full of ice, add your steeped tea and your milk of choice (to taste). If you prefer, you can add in some sweetener! We recommend adding brown sugar or unflavored simple syrup.
3. To make the cold foam, use an electric whisk or blender to mix heavy whipping cream, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar in a separate vessel. Your cold foam is ready when it’s just shy of a whipped cream consistency.
4. Top off your latte with the cold foam, dust with cinnamon, and serve!
