Notes
Tips for Perfect Pumpkin Spice Latte
Milk Choice: While whole milk creates a thick and frothy texture, almond or oat milk are great for a vegan-friendly version.
Spice it Right: Don't skip the pumpkin pie spice. It adds a mild spice and warmth essential for that unique flavor.
Pumpkin Puree: This adds a subtle pumpkin flavor. Use it along with the pumpkin pie spice for a true Starbucks-style experience.
Coffee Options: Espresso is preferred, but other coffee decoctions work well if espresso isn't available.
Iced Variation: For an iced Pumpkin Spice Latte, cool the drink completely and serve it over ice cubes – perfect for warmer days!
