Notes
- You can substitute the sugar with a sweetener of your choice, like honey or maple syrup, for a different flavor profile.
- For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk instead of whole milk.
- Pumpkin pie spice may be replaced with a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if unavailable.
- This latte is best consumed within 24 hours and should be refrigerated if kept longer.
- Stirring occasionally during cooking helps prevent milk from curdling or settling at the bottom.
