Ingredients you’ll need
Everything you need to make this cozy caffeine-free latte:

- Pumpkin pie spice – Cozy blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves
- Vanilla extract – Soft sweetness for balance
- Salt – Just a pinch to round out the flavors
- Whole milk – Creamy, frothy base for the latte
- Whipped cream – Optional topping for café-style flair
- Pumpkin pie spice – To dust over the whipped cream
Easy substitutions
- Dairy-Free: Use almond, oat, or soy milk, and top with dairy-free whipped cream.
- Different Sweetener: Honey, agave, or brown sugar can be swapped for maple syrup.
- Extra Frothy: Blend the hot mixture for 20–30 seconds before serving.
Samantha’s recipe tips
- Don’t boil the milk – Keep the heat low to avoid scalding.
- Adjust sweetness – Add more or less maple syrup to taste.
- Use fresh pumpkin pie spice – Old spices lose their warmth and aroma.
How to store
Best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, then froth again before serving.
