To step

Method 1 of 4: Simple Pumpkin Herbal Latte

1. Mix the milk, pumpkin puree and sugar. Pour the milk into a 2-quart (2-liter) saucepan. Beat in the pumpkin puree and the sugar. Keep beating until the pumpkin puree is completely mixed in.
   • Make sure to use the "regular" pumpkin puree and "not" the "pumpkin pie" mix. The pumpkin pie mix contains additional ingredients that will not work in a latte.
2. Heat the milk mixture to a medium temperature. Put the pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium temperature. Let the milk heat up until it starts to steam. Stir it constantly and do not let it boil.
3. Stir everything together well. If you want, you can beat the mixture with a hand blender to make the milk more frothy.
4. Divide the latte between two mugs. Top each with whipped cream and a drizzle of pumpkin pie spice. You can also use cinnamon or nutmeg instead.

Method 2 of 4: Gourmet Pumpkin Seasoning Latte

1. Pour the milk mixture into the mugs. The milk and espresso should mix on their own, but if it doesn't, give each latte a quick stir. If there is still too much pulp from the puree in your milk mixture, consider pouring it through a fine mesh strainer.
2. Prepare the whipped cream. Mix 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) of heavy cream and whiskey in a mixer or in a food processor. Beat it until it has formed stiff peaks.
   • It is possible to use the store bought whipped cream instead and skip this step.
3. Garnish the lattes with the whipped cream. Use a wide spoon or a rubber spatula to gently scoop the whipped cream onto each latte. You can garnish the lattes with a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg or more pumpkin pie spice.

Method 3 of 4: Microwave Pumpkin Herb Latte

1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Make a vent hole in the center with a fork or skewer. This allows the steam to escape.
2. Garnish the latte with whipped cream. For an extra delicious taste, top it all off with a little pumpkin pie spice. You can also use nutmeg or cinnamon instead.

Method 4 of 4: slow cooker Pumpkin Herb Latte

1. Cook the latte on HIGH for 2 hours. Keep the slow cooker closed during this time. After 1 hour, stir the latte vigorously with a whisk.
2. Serve the lattes in large cups. Garnish each specimen with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

Tips

• To make an ice latte, let the hot latte cool to room temperature and then pour it into a tall glass filled with ice.
• If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, mix: 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ginger, and ½ teaspoon nutmeg.
• You can use non-dairy milk instead of regular milk. Almond, coconut, and soy are all excellent options.
• Use low-fat milk instead of regular milk to make a low-fat latte.
• You do not have to use the exact amounts stated in the recipes. You can adjust the amounts of milk, coffee, sugar, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to your own taste.
• If you used non-fat milk and want an even richer flavor, you can also stir in some semi-skimmed cream.
• For a more intense pumpkin flavor, use more pumpkin puree.
• You can use any kind of milk you want. Whole milk is best, but you can also use 2% or low-fat milk.
• You can use 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice syrup instead of canned pumpkin.
• If you don't have sugar, or if you don't eat sugar, you can use a sugar substitute.

Warnings

• Do not use regular coffee. You will need to use strong, dark coffee (or espresso). If you use regular coffee, the latte will taste too milky.
• Do not use the canned pumpkin pie puree. It has too many extra ingredients that don't work in a latte.
