If you prefer a stronger pumpkin flavor in your latte, you can increase the amount of pumpkin puree to your taste preference.
For an extra indulgent treat, consider topping your Pumpkin Spice Latte with a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added sweetness and depth of flavor.
