Tips

  • You can refrigerate the pumpkin latte and serve a colder version over ice.
  • This latte tastes best made with whole milk. But for the health-conscious and the vegans, you can use skim milk or a non-dairy variety like almond milk, coconut or soy milk.
  • If you do not have pumpkin pie spice handy, you can easily make one. Just mix together 1 tablespoon each of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and clove powders.
  • To make a foamy top on your latte, carefully transfer the mixture into a blender container and blend for 1 minute.
