Variations
Dairy-free:
- You can replace the fat-free whipped cream with Coco Whip.
Pumpkin:
- Use pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin butter. Add an extra quantity of pumpkin pie spice or sweetness to achieve the same flavor.
Sweetener:
- Different sweetener options like honey or maple syrup can be used as an alternative to granulated sugar. For a sugar-free pumpkin spicy latte, use sugar-free maple syrup or monk fruit, which has no calories or net carbohydrates.
For extra stronger flavor:
- You can double the amount of Espresso coffee to make it stronger.
Pumpkin pie spice:
- Use alternatives like a pinch of nutmeg and grounded cinnamon.
