Tips for making this recipe
Make an iced pumpkin spice latte: Pour the coffee over ice and use cold brewed coffee or cold expresso if you prefer a cold version of this latte!
If you have a sweet tooth: Our pumpkin spice syrup already contains sugar, and for us, it is the perfect amount, but if you prefer your lattes a bit sweeter, feel free to add more sugar.
Vegan version: Ensure you use plant-based milk and whipped cream for a vegan version.
