What is pumpkin spice milk and how is it different from a pumpkin spice latte?

Pumpkin spice milk is a creamy, coffee-free fall beverage made with milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and a sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Unlike a pumpkin spice latte, which contains espresso or strong coffee, this drink is caffeine-free and suitable for all ages. It tastes like pumpkin pie in a mug and can be served hot or cold.

How do you make pumpkin spice milk at home?

To make one serving of pumpkin spice milk, combine 1 cup of milk of your choice, 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin, 1 tablespoon of clear honey or maple syrup, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. For a cold version, blend all ingredients until smooth. For a warm version, heat the ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking until steaming and well combined. Garnish with whipped cream and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice if desired.

How long does homemade pumpkin spice milk last and how should I store it?

Homemade pumpkin spice milk can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Keep it in an airtight container, such as a glass jar, and stir or whisk it well before serving, as the pumpkin solids may settle. You can also make this drink a few days in advance for convenience.

Can I use almond milk or oat milk to make pumpkin spice milk dairy-free and vegan?

Yes, you can use any milk of choice, including almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk, to make pumpkin spice milk dairy-free. For a vegan version, simply use a dairy-free milk and replace the honey with maple syrup or agave syrup. Oat milk is especially popular for its creamy texture that mimics dairy milk, while almond milk gives a lighter, nuttier flavor.
