Description

This homemade Non-Alcoholic Pumpkin Spice Latte is a warm, comforting drink that encapsulates the essence of fall. Combining real pumpkin puree with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, this latte provides a rich and creamy experience. Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice, it’s a festive way to celebrate the season, making it ideal for Thanksgiving and family gatherings.

Ingredients

2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup brewed coffee or strong brewed tea
Whipped cream, for topping
Extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, for garnish

Instructions

Heat the milk: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon. Whisk gently to blend all the ingredients together, being careful not to let it boil. Heat until the mixture is warm and steaming, but not boiling, about 3-5 minutes.
Brew the coffee: While the milk mixture is heating, brew your coffee or strong tea. If using a coffee maker, brew a strong cup, or use an espresso machine for a more concentrated flavor. Set aside.
Combine and blend: Once the milk mixture is heated through, remove it from the heat. Add the vanilla extract and whisk the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds to create a frothy texture. If you prefer a creamier latte, you can also use a milk frother or an immersion blender for a few seconds.
Assemble the latte: In a large mug, pour in the brewed coffee or tea. Gently ladle the warm pumpkin spice milk mixture on top, filling the mug to the desired level.
Top and serve: Finish with a generous swirl of whipped cream on top of the latte. Dust with additional pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon for a festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors of fall!

Notes

Storage: For the best taste, enjoy this latte fresh. However, if you have leftover milk mixture, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.
Customization: Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on your taste preference. You can also substitute the pumpkin puree with butternut squash puree for a different flavor profile.
Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk instead of regular milk. Adjust the sweetness, as some non-dairy milks are already sweetened.
Serving Suggestion: This drink pairs wonderfully with pumpkin bread or cinnamon rolls for a complete fall treat!
