Vegan Chai Pumpkin Latte

June 4, 2013 By JJ 9 Comments

Vegan Chai Pumpkin Latte

Crazy coffee-chain creations, and coffee at all for that matter, chai from powders, sticky sweet flavoured lattes – they just aren’t for me. A clean straight-up green chai, a pure and floral white, even an occasional peppermint – that is much more my cup of tea, pardon the pun.

But this? This is the goodness of chai spices and the decadence of pumpkin all wrapped up in a creamy warm mug of magic for Tea Time Tuesday. I probably could should have called it a Pumpkin Pie Latte…

Now if I was playing the good-food-blogger-calendar game I would have posted this in November or December. That’s when everyone in America-land searches for holiday pumpkin recipes, it’s when sites like The Kitchn and Epicurious and Saveur look for special creations to feature, it’s when every non-Christmas decorating pin on Pinterest is a pumpkin one.

And there is a good chance this has been sitting on my computer since the middle of December, ahem, but who am I to follow the rules? And besides, it’s pumpkin season right now in Sydney. A Chai Pumpkin Latte is not only seasonally appropriate but a perfect foil for the cold weather infiltrating my bones, plus there was no way I was going to make you wait another 5 or 6 months for this special creation.

My addiction to pumpkin and Pumpkin Pie has been well documented here so turning the versatile gourd into a drink shouldn’t surprise you too much, let’s be honest, I’d eat pumpkin every day if I could.

Now I’m off to put on another layer of clothing, steam up some pumpkin and make this latte for dessert. I highly recommend you do the same.

Serves: 2, or one very generously.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 3/4 c almond or rice milk
  • 4 whole coves, 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • pinch ground ginger, pinch ground allspice
  • 2 tsp loose leaf black or green tea
  • 1/4 c pumpkin puree, or more/less to taste

To Serve

  • grated nutmeg, ground cinnamon

METHOD

Heat milk and spices to just simmering. Remove from heat and infuse 10 minutes. Strain and return to pan.

Whisk through pumpkin and re-heat to just simmering. Froth if you wish.

Pour into mugs or glasses and grate over nutmeg and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon.

COOK’S NOTES

  • You can substitute the whole spices with ground if that is all you have. Start with a pinch of coves and 1/4 tsp cinnamon, adding more to taste.
  • Substitute any dairy or non-dairy milk you wish. If using coconut milk cut it with an equal amount of water.
  • Leave out the tea leaves if you want a caffeine free treat.
  • I use a little frother purchased for about $5 from the grocery store, I may adore it

That’s it. That’s the post.
Apparently today is National Strawberry Day, it’ Apparently today is National Strawberry Day, it’s overcast and raining in LA (so a plate of sunshine is absolutely necessary), and if you’ve been here for more than a hot second you know how I feel about toast.
🍞🍓🥒🌱
Toasted sourdough, goat chèvre (or vegan cream cheese), sliced strawberries, cucumber ribbons, fresh mint, olive oil, black pepper, just a pinch of salt. Go forth and feast.

I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption and everything. And I intended to post it that day as a reflection moving into a new year. But instead, mom and I went out for pizza and wine, and then it was Jan 2, and so on and so on. 
🌀
So instead you’re getting it on Feb 1. A new day and another new month (but what is a new month or a new year, other than a societal convention really). 
☀️
Because, each day, each sunrise, we have the opportunity to start anew - no matter how big or little that start may be. A chance to take another step forward - no matter how many steps back you feel you’re fighting against. 
🌀
Whether this past year brought blinding joy or paralysing grief (and in whatever measure of balance or imbalance), I hope each new day sees the landscape of your life look one step closer to what you imagine it to be. And that when the waves roll in and change that landscape, you can roll with it and see the beauty and possibility on the other side.
🌊
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, have a cookie 🍪 And I’ll leave you with the rolling waves and blue sky of a California beach in January. I truly hope this year sees us all grow stronger and move forward with each new day. Going backwards is simply not an option.

…
When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
Flowers for your Friday, that is all.

Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy o Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy of my go-to Half-Spelt, Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough recipe 🍕 (the one I’ve been teasing for years), AND a new voiceover by little Ms Marmalade herself 👧🏼.
☀️ I mean, I’m not saying the sound on this video will brighten up your day by an infinite amount, but I’m not, not, saying that either ✨. 
—-
The full recipe with all the info is over on my site (⛓ in profile and all that jazz), along with a longer version of the video. Because a 5yo singing - SINGING - about rolling dough into balls is ah-mazing. 
—-
Ingredients, for those wondering:
* whole spelt flour
* white 00 pizza flour
* water
* sourdough starter discard
* active dry yeast
* kosher salt
* millet flour (for shaping)
⏲ All the times and weights are in that aforementioned post - plus opts to bake right away vs letting it all ferment for a day or two... There’s also a list of equipment I use, and my personal flour and pizza oven faves. Now go have a pizza party! 🍕🎉
Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means it’s about time I (finally) shared this 🍗 🍇🍊 image from a test shoot collab well over a year ago 🙈. I actually made these Cornish Hens for Christmas last year too and they’ll be on the menu again this year. It’s a perfect holiday feast solution for a small group with only a few meat eaters, but also if you simply can’t be bothered to tackle a turkey!

There seems to be a common thread this year of people asking in stories if it’s ok to start decorating for 🎄 already - my answer, every time, is ‘the world is on fire, time has no meaning, go for your life’. Am I wrong? (I’m not, haha) I may even put up a tree here more than 3 days before (I do keep it up until Easter though, so who knows 😜). Are you getting festive already or do you have hard and fast rules about these things?
