- Reheat the mixture gently in the microwave or on the stove without boiling to preserve flavors.
- Freeze leftover pumpkin milk mixture in ice cube trays for easy future use.
- Chill brewed coffee overnight if you prefer an iced version of this latte.
- Use a mason jar or small whisk to mix if you don’t have a frother available.
- Stir the latte before each sip as ingredients tend to settle at the bottom.
- Freeze leftover pumpkin puree in 1 tablespoon portions to keep it fresh.
- Opt for dark roast coffee for a bolder flavor profile.
