- To reheat: The Pumpkin Spice Latte, pour it into a saucepan and heat it over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it's warmed. Do not boil it. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the microwave by pouring it into a microwave-safe mug and heating it for 30 seconds, stirring until it's warmed.
- Refrigerate the pumpkin spice latte for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat in a saucepan over low heat until thoroughly heated; do not boil. After that, remove it quickly to serve.
- You can use any milk or dairy-free alternatives. However, I recommend using whole milk for the most decadent flavor and creamier texture.
