Notes
- Mix the milk, pumpkin, sugar, and spices in advance and store in the fridge for up to 2 days to save preparation time.
- Gently reheat the pumpkin milk mixture in the microwave or on the stove before use; avoid boiling to preserve flavor and texture.
- Freeze leftover pumpkin milk mixture in ice cube trays for convenient future use.
- Chill your brewed coffee overnight if you prefer an iced pumpkin spice latte variation.
- Use a small whisk or a mason jar to mix ingredients if you don't have a milk frother.
- Stir the latte before each sip since the ingredients can settle at the bottom.
- Freeze leftover pumpkin puree in 1 tablespoon portions to avoid waste.
- Opt for a dark roast coffee to give your latte a bolder flavor.
