I’m so basic… I love a pumpkin spice and autumn is my favorite season of the year so this drink is a must for me! But I don’t want it super sweet with all the added syrups. I still think one of the best pumpkin spice lattes I’ve had is from Erewhon. It has a thickness and it’s heavily spiced just like their pumpkin pie. That’s because of the pumpkin puree which gives it that thick and creamy texture. Bc there’s no Erewhon in TN, my own version will have to suffice, sweetened with maple syrup and topping it with a pumpkin spice whipped cream that makes it feel like a treat.
It’s still somewhat hot here during the day but we’re starting to have chillier mornings. Right now I’m still drinking it cold and will switch to warm a little later so I’m sharing both versions below. Plus the recipe for homemade pumpkin spice whipped cream:
