Ingredients
Scale
Matcha Mixture
- 1–2 tsp matcha powder
- 1/4 cup hot water
Pumpkin Spice Milk
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
Additional
- 1 cup milk
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare Matcha: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of hot water and matcha powder until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This step ensures a vibrant and well-mixed matcha base.
- Make Pumpkin Spice Milk: In a separate container, combine 1/4 cup milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Use a handheld frother to blend and froth the mixture until it becomes creamy and slightly foamy.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with plenty of ice cubes, pour in 1 cup of milk, and add the prepared matcha mixture. Top with the frothy pumpkin spice milk, gently layering it on top for a deliciously rich finish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stir lightly if desired, savor your Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter latte, add a sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or agave to the pumpkin spice milk before frothing.
- You can substitute dairy milk with any plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy milk to make it vegan.
- For stronger pumpkin flavor, increase pumpkin puree up to 3 tablespoons.
- Use a quality matcha powder for the best vibrant green color and fresh flavor.
- This latte is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking.
