Pumpkin Spice Latte: the recipe to make it at home with oat milk
Here we offer a version with oat milk, perfect for those looking for a vegan alternative, or simply a lighter, but equally rich and creamy option. Preparing it is simple and will guarantee you a result comparable to the most famous preparations, thanks to the balance between the natural sweetness of the pumpkin and the warm and enveloping spiciness of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
Ingredients
Procedure
In a saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree with the brown sugar, a drop of vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Mix delicately until you obtain a uniform mixture, then heat over a low heat for a few minutes, just long enough for the flavors to blend and the aroma of the spices to release.
Once the pumpkin base is hot and aromatic, pour the oat milk into the saucepan and mix everything carefully, then add the espresso coffee and continue stirring, maintaining a gentle flame. Heat without bringing to the boil to prevent the drink from thickening too much, taking care not to lose the creaminess.
When the mixture is hot and smooth, turn off the heat and pour it into two large cups. If you wish to add a decorative note, complete with a generous dose of whipped vegetable cream and a sprinkling of bitter cocoa or cinnamon powder, a small detail that will give the drink an eye-catching appearance and an even more refined taste.
