Extra tips for creating the perfect pumpkin spice latte at home:
- Don’t have a milk frother to make lattes? No problem! I actually used my immersion hand blender to froth my latte, and it worked out great!
- For an iced latte, freeze coffee in an ice cube tray and add it to your drink. As the ice melts, the coffee flavor intensifies!
- Not sure what to do with your leftover pumpkin purée? Use it to make any of our favorite pumpkin recipes!
