A pumpkin latte is a popular fall and winter drink that combines the flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and other spices with espresso and steamed milk. It is also made with pumpkin puré that you can make yourself.
You can adjust the sweetness to your liking, and you can also use almond milk, oat milk, or any other milk alternative.
