Autumn Radiance Pumpkin Latte

12 Nov

As the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, I find myself drawn to the golden glow of autumn — to everything soothing, spiced, and soul-warming.

(And for my sun-kissed sisters in the southern hemisphere, I see you sipping this iced, in your summer glow!)

This Ayurveda-inspired pumpkin latte is a hug in a cup, nourishing for body and spirit. With grounding pumpkin, gentle warming spices, and a hint of sweetness, it kindles your inner fire while keeping you steady and serene through the change of season.

Pumpkin Latte

Ingredients

1 cup milk of your choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
2 tablespoons pumpkin purée (or roasted pumpkin)
1 teaspoon ghee or coconut oil
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ginger powder
¼ teaspoon turmeric
A pinch of nutmeg
A pinch of black pepper
Optional: ½ teaspoon ashwagandha powder and a touch of maple syrup or a soaked date for sweetness

Directions

Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Warm gently in a small pan over low heat — don’t boil.
Pour into your favourite mug, breathe in the aroma, and sip slowly.

Ayurvedic Tips

Vata: Perfect just as it is — soothing and grounding.

Pitta: Go easy on the ginger, pepper, and turmeric.
Kapha: Use half water, less pumpkin, and skip the sweetener.
