Notes

How to Serve Your Pumpkin Spice Milk

This pumpkin spice milk is a cozy drink that works for so many occasions.
I love enjoying it as a soothing bedtime treat, but it’s also great for breakfast alongside a slice of pumpkin bread or a cinnamon roll.
For a fun twist, serve it as a non-caffeinated alternative to pumpkin spice lattes at a fall brunch or gathering.
If you’re making the iced version, pair it with a light salad or sandwich for a refreshing midday pick-me-up.

Storing and Enjoying Leftovers

If you have any leftover pumpkin spice milk, don’t worry, it stores beautifully. Simply pour it into an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
When you’re ready to enjoy it again, give it a good shake or stir to reincorporate the spices.
To reheat, warm it gently on the stove or in the microwave until it’s steaming.
For the iced version, just pour it straight from the fridge over ice. Easy and delicious!

Top Tips for Customizing Your Pumpkin Spice Milk

Swap the milk: This recipe works with any milk you love. Oat milk adds an extra creamy texture, while soy or coconut milk can give it a fun twist.
Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet drink, start with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and adjust to taste. You can also swap in maple syrup or honey for a natural sweetener.
Add extra spice: If you’re a pumpkin spice fanatic, feel free to sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top.
Make it vegan: This recipe is naturally vegan if you use plant-based milk and coconut whipped cream. Just double-check your pumpkin pie spice for any hidden dairy.
