Creamy Pumpkin Pie Tea Recipe (2024)

Love the idea of making your own teas? Here’s how to make a delicious Creamy Pumpkin Pie Tea that is perfect for fall and winter tea drinking!

Creamy Pumpkin Pie Tea Recipe

For many years now I’ve been making my own loose-leaf teas. These teas have been sold in our coffee shop, through our bulk foods company, and also given to friends and family.

One of my favorite teas that I make is Creamy Pumpkin Pie Tea. The tea is a delicious warming, herbal tea that has a flavor that is reminiscent of a spicy pumpkin pie. It’s easy to make and delicious to drink, plus it makes a great gift.

Pumpkin Pie Tea is a loose tea that can be steeped and then enjoyed plain, or I like mine with a bit of creamer or milk. It definitely captures the season and smells just like a freshly baked pumpkin pie.

I make this loose leaf tea with Honeybush but you could also use a rooibos tea if that’s what you have. You can even use black tea but that will contain caffeine. Stick with an herbs tea for caffeine free.

**Note: While we call this Pumpkin Pie Tea because it has all the pumpkin pie spices, it does not actually contain pumpkin puree. Just wanted to clear that up before I get a bunch of comments asking. 🙂

Ingredients in Pumpkin Pie Tea

• 1 tablespoon Cinnamon Chips or Cinnamon Pieces
• 6 tablespoons Honeybush Tea (Red Roobios could also be used)
• 1 tablespoon Orange Peel
• 1 teaspoon Whole Cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ginger Root Pieces, cut and sifted

I get all of my tea making supplies from Frontier. I’ve linked to it in all of the ingredients above.

Instructions for Making Pumpkin Pie Loose Tea

Combine all ingredients together in a small bowl and mix until everything seems to be distributed evenly. Store the tea mixture in a jar or air-tight container until ready to use.

To make tea: Steep one tablespoon of the loose-leaf tea in a tea ball or tea strainer in a mug of hot water for about 3-5 minutes.

To make this tea creamy and more like pumpkin pie, add in a little maple sugar/maple syrup or brown sugar plus some milk or cream (we use oat milk or coconut milk/coconut cream in this one for our family) until it has the desired level of sweetness and creaminess. A little drop of vanilla extract is also a tasty addition.

This is an herbal tea and is naturally caffeine free.
