Notes
- Make ahead by mixing the milk, pumpkin, spices, and sugar in advance and store the leftover mixture in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, being careful not to boil the mixture.
- Freeze leftover pumpkin milk mixture in ice cube trays for later use in smoothies or future lattes.
- For iced lattes, brew coffee ahead of time and chill overnight in the refrigerator.
- If you don’t have a frother, a mason jar or small whisk works great for mixing the pumpkin milk.
- Stir your latte before each sip as ingredients can settle.
- Freeze leftover pumpkin puree in tablespoons to keep fresh for future recipes.
- Use dark roast coffee for a bolder, richer flavor.
