Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte VIDEO + 9 PSL Tips

Skip the line at Starbucks by making a PSL at home! And this vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte is made using real pumpkin, warming spices, cozy maple syrup and non-dairy milk. Watch me whip up this seasonal latte in my latest YouTube video + get my PSL tips!..

Serve with some Cinnamon Toast Muffins! (lovvve these.)

This is for cozy time. Like THIS..

9 PSL Tips:

1 * Creamy Milk. For the yummiest texture, use a rich and creamy vegan milk. My two faves for lattes are Ripple or a soy milk. You can read more about non-dairy milk options here.
2 * Whip it! Make your own coconut whip or use store-bought soy, coconut or rice whip.
3 * Pumpkin. For that pumpkin flavor, use real pumpkin puree, the unsweetened kind, not 'pumpkin pie mix.' And if you want to get really fancy.. Make a big batch of homemade pumpkin puree by baking a whole pumpkin (remove those seeds) and then scooping out the flesh and pureeing it in a high-speed blender.
4 * Spices. I like to use pumpkin pie spice. But cinnamon and/or nutmeg works great too.
5 * Coffee Free. Not into coffee? You can substitute with some black tea or simply omit the espresso and have a 'hot pumpkin mug.'
6 * More Goodies. Add some vegan caramel on top. Or sprinkle some vanilla bean flakes or a few drops of vanilla extract into the blender. For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne! Another tip: Add a pinch of sea salt to tone and brighten the sweet and warm flavors. I always do this if I am using an unsweetened noon-dairy milk, because sometimes they need a pinch of salt. (Teeny pinch!)
7 * To taste. This drink is easy to customize, just like at Starbucks. Add more or less sweetener, add more or less espresso or coffee. You can make it extra hot by warming the milk a bit longer or warming it just before sipping by popping it back in the microwave for a few seconds.
8 * Blend well! You do not want clumpy sips, so be sure to blend the pumpkin into the milk, very well, at a high speed, when the drink is hot. The heat helps to smooth things out.
9 * Make two! This drink tastes even better with one thing: a friend to sip and clink mugs with.
