The smell alone makes me happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once it is warm and blended I slowly pour in the coffee while whisking so it all mixes evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/620efec8-d3df-40b0-b127-3534d8eeb32f_resultat-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1322\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/620efec8-d3df-40b0-b127-3534d8eeb32f_resultat-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/620efec8-d3df-40b0-b127-3534d8eeb32f_resultat-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/620efec8-d3df-40b0-b127-3534d8eeb32f_resultat-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/620efec8-d3df-40b0-b127-3534d8eeb32f_resultat.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> I let it heat for another minute or two until it is steaming. If I feel fancy I whisk a little longer to get some froth going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I pour it into my biggest mug because I do not play around with small drinks. I always take a sip to check the sweetness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/f5b15901-ad10-4dbd-9f23-8166c07bc6a9_resultat-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1321\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/f5b15901-ad10-4dbd-9f23-8166c07bc6a9_resultat-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/f5b15901-ad10-4dbd-9f23-8166c07bc6a9_resultat-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/f5b15901-ad10-4dbd-9f23-8166c07bc6a9_resultat-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/f5b15901-ad10-4dbd-9f23-8166c07bc6a9_resultat.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I need more I just add a tiny bit more condensed milk.

If people are over I make a little tray with extra mugs and keep a small pitcher of the latte so everyone can refill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It goes so well with cookies or even bread rolls if I am mixing sweet and salty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-leftovers-\"><strong>Leftovers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/32090ed1-736b-462a-a21e-9c6243757520_resultat-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1320\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/32090ed1-736b-462a-a21e-9c6243757520_resultat-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/32090ed1-736b-462a-a21e-9c6243757520_resultat-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/32090ed1-736b-462a-a21e-9c6243757520_resultat-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/32090ed1-736b-462a-a21e-9c6243757520_resultat.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normally there is none because it makes just one serving and I finish it before I even sit down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I make a bigger batch I put the extra in a jar and leave it in the fridge. It keeps for two days. To reheat I just warm it back up on the stove over low heat while whisking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I never freeze it because it gets weird and grainy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-my-little-tips-\"><strong>My Little Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strong coffee is key. If the pumpkin tastes stronger than the coffee then start over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whisk that pumpkin and condensed milk until it is smooth or you will end up with little pumpkin blobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it is too sweet just use one tablespoon of condensed milk instead of two. If you want it sweeter add more, no judgment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A milk frother makes it caf\u00e9 style in two seconds. A sprinkle of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice makes it extra cozy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"review-box\" role=\"note\" aria-label=\"Leave a review\">\n  <span class=\"star\">\u2605<\/span>\n  <strong>Before You Begin!<\/strong>\n  If you make this, please\n  <a href=\"#respond\" class=\"review-link\">leave a review and rating<\/a>\n  letting us know how you liked this recipe!
