Decaf Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. And with the fall, comes it's delicious drinks. This year, I've had to put a spin on some of my favorites, including the Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte.

Although I am not solely against caffeine while pregnant, I have avoided it unless absolutely necessary. There has only be a couple of times where I've had to take a small dose of caffeine, but for the most part I've steered clear. So as the fall came, I knew I had to find a recipe for my favorite Pumpkin Spice Latte that was caffeine free! 

After searching all over the internet for recipes to alter, I finally combined a few and found my own. To my surprise, it might be my new favorite fall drink! 

If you're like me and craving a fall drink without the caffeine, try this! It's simple and easy to make in the luxury of your own home. 

Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte
4 oz water

1 tea bag of decaf black tea (or chai if you'd prefer)
2/3 cup milk
1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
¼ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup pumpkin puree
¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice

Boil your water. (Or if you're like me, grab 4oz of water out of your keurig already piping hot with half the time)
Pour into cup/mug and steep your tea bag for 5 or so minutes.
Remove tea bag.
Add remaining ingredients and blend using your blender.
Taste and adjust maple syrup and spices to your liking.
If it’s not hot enough, simply pour into a pot and heat over medium heat until steaming (Or pop it in the microwave for 40 seconds and you're ready to roll).

Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. I have a feeling I will be making many of these in the weeks to come. 

Wishing you all a happy fall!
