Equipment

  • 1 Sauce Pan
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 electric frother optional

Ingredients
  

Pumpkin Spice Blend:

  • 3 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric

Latte:

  • ¼ cup pumpkin purée
  • 1½ cups soy milk
  • 2 tsp date syrup or more, to taste
  • ½ tsp pumpkin spice blend
  • 2 shots espresso or strong coffee

Instructions
 

  • Mix the Spices 
    Measure all the spices and add them to a small bowl or glass jar. Whisk or stir well until evenly combined. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months (though the flavour is best within 2).
  • Blend Milk & Pumpkin
    Add your plant milk and pumpkin purée to a saucepan. If you’re using homemade roasted pumpkin (which can be a bit fibrous), blend the mixture first until smooth. If using tinned pumpkin, you can skip the blending step.
  • Heat the Pumpkin Milk
    Warm the pumpkin milk over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until smooth and creamy. Whisk a little more vigorously towards the end to create some natural froth.
  • Add the Spices
    Remove from the heat and stir in ½ teaspoon of your pumpkin spice blend. Whisk well to combine and form a light foam.
  • Froth the Milk
    Instead of whipped cream, use an electric frother or blender to create a light, foamy layer on top of the milk. It’s healthier but still feels indulgent.
  • Assemble & Serve
    Pour a shot of espresso (or your favourite coffee) into a mug. Gently pour the spiced milk over it, holding back the foam with a spoon. Spoon the froth on top, and finish with a sprinkle of pumpkin spice.

Notes

  • Blend for creaminess - If using roasted pumpkin or a fibrous variety, blend it with the milk before heating. This ensures a silky-smooth latte every time.
  • Froth like a pro - For a café-style finish, froth your milk using a blender, frother, or whisk. Whisking vigorously at the end of heating can also create a light foam.
  • Sweeten mindfully - Date syrup adds natural sweetness and a subtle caramel note. Start with 1–2 tsp, then taste and adjust — you can always add more, but you can’t take it out!
  • Coffee options - A strong espresso works best, but you can also use a strong moka pot brew, AeroPress, or French press coffee. Even decaf or chicory coffee gives that rich, warming base.
  • Spice it up - Feel free to tweak the pumpkin spice blend — add a little extra cinnamon or a pinch of cardamom for your own signature twist.
  • Serve immediately - This latte is best enjoyed hot, right after frothing — the flavours and foam are at their peak.
