Fall is the perfect time for all the flavors of pumpkin. Why not pair it with our pumpkin muffins recipe. Or just sip on it during the afternoon while enjoying “me time” or with a friend. Honestly, where we live it’s still to warm for hot drinks so we make them iced or blended during the afternoon. We make hot pumpkin spice lattes when the weather cools down.
The great thing is this pumpkin spice latte recipe is the same for warm, iced and blended pumpkin spice drinks. The only difference is the steps are slightly different. It is to make coffee shop beverages at home.
I’m going to break it down for you.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Iced
- Put your pumpkin puree, vanilla, (cold) non-dairy milk, or milk in a bowl and whisk together
- Make your shots of espresso or coffee add them to your mixture
- Next, add ice to a glass
- Pour your milk mixture, with shots or coffee into glass over ice in your glass (Do NOT add hot coffee or shots to your iced glass it will crack the glass)
If you don’t want a pumpkin latte with Pumpkin Puree?
If you don’t want to use pumpkin puree or pumpkin pie spice you can use the pumpkin pie syrups
and sauces instead. Just omit the other ingredients. Add syrup to non-dairy milk or milk, add coffee or shots of espresso, and stir. Top with whip cream.
Follow the same directions for iced and blended with these ingredients. You probably will not need sugar as these syrups are sweeter already. You can steam your non-diary milk or milk with a milk frother
. They are super handy to own for making coffee shop drinks at home.
Need more options or substitutions for your lattes?
- I’ve also seen recipes where they used maple syrup for the sweetener instead of sugar or honey.
- My favorite fall and winter drink are soy caramel lattes. I love inserting my favorite syrups like caramel and topping them with whip cream and caramel sauce.
- There are so many syrup flavors to pick from PERFECT for making coffee, flavored drinks, Italian sodas at home. Have you tried Torani syrups?
for the sweetener instead of sugar or honey.
