Notes

Tips for Making Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte

Nutrition facts do not include whipped cream.
Use a blender to get that frothy texture without the need for a steam wand or fancy espresso machine. Just be sure it's big enough to hold all the milk!
If you prefer and want to skip a step, you can add the milk right to the pot with the pumpkin syrup and whisk together. It won't be as frothy as it would be if you blended it, but the flavor is still the same!
You can make this latte stronger if you prefer. Just add an additional shot of espresso to each cup. If you don't have an espresso machine, no problem! Just make your own strong black coffee and add as much as you like for your taste preference.
