Notes
- You can mix the milk, pumpkin, sugar, and spices ahead of time and store the mixture in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat the pumpkin milk mixture gently in the microwave or on the stovetop without boiling to preserve flavor and texture.
- Freeze leftover pumpkin milk mixture in ice cube trays to have ready portions for future lattes.
- For an iced version, chill your brewed coffee the night before.
- If you don’t have a frother, use a small whisk or shake the mixture in a mason jar to blend well.
- Stir your latte before sipping as the ingredients can settle.
- Freeze unused pumpkin puree in 1 tablespoon portions for convenience.
- Use dark roast coffee for a bolder flavor that complements the pumpkin spices.
