Notes

For a richer flavor, use a high-quality chai tea. Adjust the sweetness to your preference. Cooling the chai mixture before adding it to the ice prevents dilution. Experiment with different milk types to find your favorite. Store leftover chai-pumpkin spice mixture in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a vegan option, use non-dairy milk and vegan toppings. For a stronger pumpkin flavor, add more pumpkin puree or pumpkin pie spice. To make a frappe, blend all ingredients with ice until smooth.
