What To Serve With It
A Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte pairs perfectly with cozy treats that complement its warm, spiced flavors.
I love serving it with pumpkin desserts like pumpkin bread, muffins, or even a slice of pumpkin pie—they’re a match made in fall heaven.
If you’re craving something savory, try pairing it with snacks like spiced nuts, cheese and crackers, or a warm pretzel.
The contrast between the latte’s sweetness and the savory bites is surprisingly satisfying.
For a lighter option, roasted pumpkin seeds add a nice crunch.
Whatever you choose, it’s all about creating a cozy, comforting moment. Enjoy!
