Charcoal Chai Latte With Sweet Pumpkin Foam
Hey there Boo-tiful. This holiday season, you’ll want to have this yummy charcoal chai under your belt. Cozy up with this amazing recipe that’s all plant based, gluten free, and refined sugar free.
I added some activated charcoal, organic coconut sugar, ginger, and cinnamon to give it some extra spice. The activated charcoal gives it this nice beautiful dark color along with all the positive health benefits. Activated charcoal, in small amounts like this, have been shown to help cleanse your digestive system, lower your cholesterol, and even help detox from toxins like black mold exposure!
To sweeten the deal, I added the sweet pumpkin foam….which is next level delicious. This sweet whipped cream foam really elevates the whole latte. You will fall in love with this libation over and over again for many years to come. Enjoy!

Serves 2-3
The Goods:
2 cups brewed hot chai tea
1 1/2 unsweetened plant milk of choice
2 tbsp Big Tree Farms Coconut Sugar
1 tsp food grade activated charcoal powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
For the pumpkin spiced whipped cream:
3 tbsp pumpkin puree
1 can organic coconut cream, chilled overnight (Use only the coconut meat from the top of the can.)
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp turmeric
The Method:
Begin by brewing your chai tea leaves. As the chai steeps, grab a small sauce pan and heat up the plant milk on medium low heat. Stir frequently to prevent bubbling or burning. Heat milk until warm/hot, then remove from heat.
After the tea has steeped for 15+ minutes, and the milk is still warm/hot, pour both the tea and milk into a large high powered blender that can withstand high heat. Add in the coconut sugar, charcoal, ginger, cinnamon, and blend on high until fully mixed. Leave inside the blender, set aside.
Grab your coconut cream can from the fridge and add only the coconut meat from the top half inside the can into a large & steep mixing bowl. (one with tall edges) Next pour in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, turmeric, and with an electric whisk, whisk everything together for 1-2 minutes until you have a thick orange whipped cream. Set aside.
Give the chai inside the blender an extra last blend for 15-20 more seconds to get everything nice and mixed. Pour your dark, spooky charcoal chai lattes into your mugs. Lastly, grab your whipped cream, and with a spoon, place a few generous dollops of cream onto the top of each latte. Be careful, may still be very hot, so wait 1-2 minutes before sinking your teeth into this one.
This recipe is frighteningly delicious. Drink this spooky chai before it disappears like a ghost!
