Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients
- 1¼ cup cashew milk or your favorite milk
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Sweeteners & Spices
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar (or 2 tbsp for a sweeter latte)
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice plus more for garnish
Others
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1½ tsp matcha powder
Instructions
- Heat the milk mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cashew milk, coconut sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk continuously to blend the ingredients smoothly and froth the mixture slightly. Remove the pan from heat just as bubbles begin to form around the edges to avoid boiling.
- Prepare the matcha: In a small bowl, whisk together matcha powder and hot water using a matcha whisk or a handheld frother until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.
- Assemble the latte: Pour the warm pumpkin-spiced milk mixture into a mug. Then, gently top with the whisked matcha. Optionally, serve over ice for a chilled version. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice on top to garnish. Enjoy your comforting Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte fresh!
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by increasing or reducing the coconut sugar according to your taste.
- Use any plant-based milk if cashew milk is unavailable; almond or oat milk works well.
- For a cold version, pour the mixture over ice after assembling.
- Ensure not to boil the milk to maintain a creamy texture and preserve nutrients.
