I also adore chai tea, and Mountain Rose Herbs makes an incredible red roiboos herbal chai called Firefly Chai. When I read a post this evening on the So Delicious Facebook fan page that mentioned Pumpkin Chai Tea, it sounded so delicious, I just had to try making my own recipe. It was so yummy, I finished the cup before I finished typing these first two paragraphs!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup pumpkin purée
2 Tbs So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer (I used French Vanilla)
1 cup brewed chai tea
1 tsp sweetener of choice (optional—but I used agave)
dash of nutmeg
Directions:
While brewing your tea, mix the pumpkin and creamer in a small cup and heat in a microwave for 2 minutes. Pour the tea mixture into the pumpkin (or visa versa), add sweetener, stir, sprinkle with nutmeg, and enjoy!
P.S. I'm excited that my friend, Millie, has invited me to be a guest on her blog with my favorite holiday cookie recipe! Watch for my Rosewater-Glazed Lemony Cranberry Cookies on Nuestra Cena next Friday!
Sounds so yummy! I will try it, with a slight modification. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow that really looks delicious. Actually Pumpkin Coconut anything sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteYUM! I will definitely try this! Pumpkin, chai, and coconut are three of my favorite things! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThere's something very seductive about the idea of pumpkin, coconut, and chai tea. Maybe it's the blend of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg mingled with vanilla, creamy pumpkin puree, and So Delicious coconut milk creamer. Or maybe it's just that it sounds intoxicatingly delicious. Either way, I can't wait to try the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThis is the shortest, sweetest blog post I've seen in a long time. I'm rushing into the kitchen right now to make sure I have all of the ingredients on hand, and if not, I'm headed straight out the door to get them!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how happy I am to have found this post! Cardamom, coconut, and pumpkin—what a great combination!
ReplyDeleteYou better believe I am making this today! (And probably every day for the next 6 months!)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what I could do to motivate myself to go out and rake leaves. Now I have it; As soon as I am finished, I'm going to make a cup of this Pumpkin Coconut Chai Tea and pick a good book off the shelf to enjoy for the rest of the afternoon!
ReplyDeleteAnd I know what I'm making for dessert tonight, Janet! Your date cake looks delicious!!!!
