Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte

Enjoy cozy autumn flavours with this creamy Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte. Made with smooth ceremonial matcha, pumpkin, warm spices and milk, it’s an easy homemade drink with a delicious café-style taste.

Unlike a traditional pumpkin spice latte, this matcha recipe uses Japanese green tea for a naturally smooth and earthy flavour. For the best results, use ceremonial matcha powder for a rich colour and silky texture.

📌Ingredients

🍃3 g Ceremonial Matcha Powder

🍃30 ml warm water (around 80°C)

🍃2 tbsp pumpkin puree

🍃200 ml milk of your choice

🍃1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey

🍃¼ tsp cinnamon

🍃⅛ tsp ground nutmeg

🍃¼ tsp vanilla extract

🍃Ice cubes for an iced version

📌Instructions

🍃1. Make the Pumpkin Spice Mixture

Add pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract to a small bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

🍃2. Prepare the Matcha

Sift the matcha powder into a ceramic bowl to help prevent lumps. Add 30 ml of warm water and whisk using a bamboo whisk or milk frother until smooth and lightly frothy.

🍃3. Prepare the Milk

For a warm latte, gently heat your milk without bringing it to a boil. For an iced version, use chilled milk and prepare a glass with ice.

🍃4. Combine

Add the pumpkin spice mixture to your glass or cup. Pour in the milk and stir until well combined.

🍃5. Add the Matcha

Slowly pour the freshly whisked matcha over the milk mixture. Stir gently before serving, or leave it layered for a café-style presentation.

🍃6. Combine

Add the pumpkin spice mixture to your glass or cup. Pour in the milk and stir until well combined.

🍃7. Finish and Enjoy

Add a light dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg on top. Your homemade Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte is ready to enjoy.

📌Expert Tips

• Use the right water temperature: Avoid boiling water because excessive heat can affect matcha's delicate flavour. Around 80°C works well for whisking.

• Sift before whisking: Matcha is finely ground, so sifting helps create a smoother, lump-free drink.

• Choose smooth pumpkin puree: A smooth puree blends more easily with the milk and creates a creamy texture.

• Balance the sweetness: Start with one teaspoon of maple syrup or honey and adjust according to your preference.

• Try oat milk: Its naturally creamy texture works particularly well with pumpkin and matcha.

• Use fresh matcha: For the best colour and flavour, store your matcha airtight and away from heat and sunlight.

📌Final Thoughts

A Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte is an easy way to give your seasonal drink routine a fresh twist. The combination of creamy pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and smooth Japanese matcha creates a comforting drink that's perfect for slow mornings or cozy evenings.
