Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder sifted, for a smoother latte
  • 2 tablespoons warm water about 175°F/80°C, not boiling
  • 1 cup milk dairy or unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 tablespoon plain pumpkin purée not sweetened pumpkin pie filling
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup to taste
  • ice cubes for serving iced
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt optional, for a higher-protein iced version

Method
 

  1. Sift the matcha into a cup, add 2 tablespoons of warm water, and whisk with a bamboo whisk or handheld frother until smooth and lightly foamy.
  2. Mix the cold milk, pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and maple syrup until smooth. For extra protein in an iced latte, blend in the optional Greek yogurt.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the pumpkin-spiced milk mixture.
  4. Slowly add the whisked matcha on top, stir gently, and taste. Add a little extra sweetener or milk if you prefer.
  5. Enjoy the iced latte right away. For a hot version, omit the ice and gently heat the pumpkin milk mixture before stirring in the separately whisked matcha.

Notes

For a hot latte, gently heat the pumpkin milk mixture before combining it with separately whisked matcha. Do not boil. Greek yogurt is best reserved for the iced version. Protein, calories, and caffeine depend on the products and portions used.
