Pumpkin Spice Turmeric Latte
The Pumpkin Spice Turmeric Latte is a warm, spiced beverage that blends turmeric and pumpkin pie spice with non-dairy milk and sweetener to yield a comforting latte. The turmeric adds an earthy note and golden color, while pumpkin spice or cinnamon delivers familiar autumnal flavors. Simmering the spices in water before combining with frothed milk creates a gently infused drink with a mildly spicy warmth that can be garnished for extra aroma and appeal.

- 1.5 tbsp sweetener or more; of choice
- Turmeric pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for garnish

Notes
- Fresh grated ginger can be simmered with spices for 2-3 minutes before adding milk, then strain the latte.
- Fresh grated turmeric may impart a slight bitterness; start with smaller amounts to gauge flavor.
- Add 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree to the milk before frothing for a richer texture and pumpkin flavor.
