📝 Ingredients

- Pumpkin Puree, you can use canned or homemade pumpkin puree

👍 Tips for Success
- Use a strong coffee for this recipe or you can also use espresso.
- Make sure you get pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- You can use any milk plant based or regular. I love using whole milk, oat milk, soy milk and coconut milk are great options for non-dairy milk.
- Top your drink with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin spice mix for an elegant restaurant look.
- Using brown sugar makes this drink taste more festive.
- To make your drink frothy mix all the ingredients except for the milk in the sauce pan. Heat milk separately then froth using a handheld frother, coffee press or a regular blender. Pour the milk over, mix and enjoy.

Marie, how are you dear?. It is indeed full of Fall flavors, although I do not mind having it any time of the year.

This sounds delicious! I love that you used real pumpkin in this latte. Like you, I live for these Fall days when I can pull out a sweater and curl up on the couch with a cup of coffee...and now I'm going to have to make that a latte instead! Thanks for sharing!
