How to Make a Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

Place the pumpkin puree in a bowl and mix it very well with the sugar or sweetener. Add the spices also. Different sweeteners will have different equivalents to sugar, so you will have to ensure you figure the right amount. It is best to use less than more since you can always add more later.

You can puree your own pumpkin, but you will need to ensure it is cooked properly and pureed to a very smooth consistency. You do not want a fibrous or stodgy latte.

Dairy-free or vegan options can use oat milk, almond milk or their preferred alternative, but be careful if it is sweetened. Heat the mixture on low, but do not moil. Whisk as you do for better combination.

The freshly brewed coffee should be added to the hot milk to create a homogeneous mixture. The type of coffee can be your preference too. Some people use espresso, but you can use instant coffee granules in a pinch.
