Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Spice Mix

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon ginger (natural)

Latte Base

2 cups plant-based milk (such as oat or almond)
1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural) or brown sugar
1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent (such as agar or pectin)

Instructions

Prepare the Pumpkin Spice Mix: In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger (natural) to create your signature pumpkin spice blend. This fresh mix will deliver the perfect flavors straight into your latte.
Warm the Pumpkin Puree and Milk: In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the pumpkin puree and plant-based milk. Slowly heat until warm but not boiling, stirring gently to combine the creamy base with the pumpkin.
Add Sweetener and Spice: Mix in the sweetener and your homemade pumpkin spice blend. Stir consistently to dissolve the sweetener and allow the spices to bloom fully into the warm milk mixture.
Incorporate Coffee or Espresso: Pour the brewed coffee or espresso into your pumpkin milk blend, stirring carefully to meld the flavors. Add vanilla extract (natural) now to enhance the richness.
Froth or Blend for Creaminess: For an extra foamy finish, use a frother or blend the latte mixture briefly. This step creates a luscious texture that will elevate your cozy drink.

Notes

Use freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor.
Heat the milk gently without boiling to preserve smooth texture.
Adjust spices gradually and taste as you go.
Maple syrup (natural) enhances caramel notes beautifully with pumpkin.
Cold plant-based milks froth better, so chill before heating if possible.
