Pumpkinspice latte is a delectable drink made with smooth and rich pumpkin puree(homemade puree is BEST according to me), milk (use any type of milk), sugar,vanilla and the fall favorite spice – pumpkin pie spice.

The benefits of making your own pumpkin spice latte at home is it gives you full control on the recipe. You can substitute dairy milk with dairy-free options like almond milk or soy milk for healthier option!

Adjust the sweetness according to your taste. Make it as sweeter as you want. With all that you also could save a few bucks with homemade version of this fall latte.

The fragrance of warm spices in the milk wafting in the house is so good! You don’t want that scent to leave the house.

How To Make Pumpkin Spice Latte

To make your own latte you’ll need to have pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice ready.

Rest of the ingredientsI bet you already have it at home. In amatter of 10 minutes you can whip up copycat of Starbucks pumpkin spice latte.

You can usefreshly brewed coffee or coffee made with instant coffee granules. Both workreally well. I’m a person who always drinks freshly brewed coffee so I am goingto suggest you to use that in my recipe.

Star heating up milk, pure pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk milk to blend everything and bring it to steaming hot. DO NOT BOIL IT.

Note: 2% milk is our choice. Use dairy free milk like coconut milk, almondmilk or even soy milk.

The amountof sugar you want to add completely depends on your preference. Add more sugarif you like your latte on the sweeter side or reduce it if you don’t likesweet.

Homemadepumpkin puree is fresh and has real pumpkin taste. We love it over cannedpumpkin puree.

You’ll find some recipes heating up everything along with brewed coffee. I don’t do that. I bring pumpkin flavored milk to steaming hot and then mix in my hot coffee and pumpkin milk together.

It let’s you control how much coffee I want to add to my latte this way. I like strong coffee flavors in my latte while my husband likes it medium.

By notadding coffee into the milk while heating I can change and serve the latte asper personal choices. That’s just me. You go ahead and mix in brewed coffee as wellto the sauce pan and heat it up with the milk and other ingredients.

Into servingcups pour freshly brewed coffee, pumpkin milk. Fill up the cups ¾^th.Pipe on some whipped cream to garnish.

Sprinkle onto either pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon and nutmeg powder on top.

Serve immediately.

Can Pumpkin Spice Latte be Made Ahead?

No. This lattedoesn’t reheat very well. So I recommend you to use up all the latte soon asyou make. Make it fresh and serve immediately.

Tips For Pumpkin Latte Recipe

1. This recipe multiples very well. You can double it or triple it easily.
2. To make Starbucks copycat latte you want to use 2% milk (dairy). But feel free to substitute diary milk with non-diary options like almond milk, coconut milk or soy milk. It may not taste exactly like Starbucks latte with diary free milk, but it’s definitely delicious!
3. The amount of sweetener mentioned in recipe works great for my taste buds. Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener as per your preference. You can replace sugar with other sugars like stevia or coconut sugar.
4. The amount of pumpkin puree mentioned gives you subtle flavors of pumpkin in the latte. You can make a strong pumpkin flavored latte by increasing the amount of puree added to the milk.
