# Tips from dashanddishes:
01 -
- This latte is like holding a cozy secret in a mug, blending real pumpkin with fragrant spices that feel like a friendly whisper on your taste buds
- It quickly became a favorite because it balances richness and spice perfectly, making you want to savor every sip slowly
02 -
- Heating the milk mixture just until steaming is key—you curb bitterness and keep the spices lively
- Whisking vigorously or using a frother makes all the difference in the latte's creaminess, totally worth the little extra effort

- Always use fresh spices; old ones lose their charm and freshness a lot faster than you think
- The secret to froth that stays is a quick cold whisk right after heating—you'll see the bubbles hold longer and look creamier
