In a small saucepan, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.

Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture is hot and well combined, but do not let it boil.

In a separate cup, brew the black tea or chai tea according to package instructions.

Once the milk mixture is hot, remove it from the heat and froth it using a milk frother or whisk until it's light and airy.

Pour the brewed tea into a large mug, then add the pumpkin milk mixture on top.

Stir gently to combine and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.
