Question 7

How can I adjust the consistency of my latte?

Accepted Answer

You can adjust the consistency of your latte by adding more or less milk, depending on your preference. If you prefer a thicker latte, you can add more pumpkin puree.

Question 8

How can I store leftover Pumpkin Spice Latte?

Accepted Answer

You can store leftover Pumpkin Spice Latte in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, gently warm it on the stovetop or in the microwave, and give it a good stir before serving.

Question 9

When does Pumpkin Spice Latte expire?

Accepted Answer

An unopened store-bought Pumpkin Spice Latte will last about 1 to 2 weeks in the fridge, going by the 'use-by' date on the packaging. However, it's always best to consume it within a few days for optimal taste and freshness. Homemade versions should be consumed within 4 to 5 days. If you've frozen your Pumpkin Spice Latte, leeway extends to 1 to 2 months.

Question 10

How do you tell if Pumpkin Spice Latte is bad?

Accepted Answer

Signs that your Pumpkin Spice Latte has turned bad aren't hard to spot. Check for a sour smell, an off taste, or signs of mold growth. Typically, coffee-based beverages such as this will develop a harsh, bitter taste as they age. If any of these signs are present, it's best to play it safe and discard the drink.

Question 11

Tips for storing Pumpkin Spice Latte to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Store your Pumpkin Spice Latte in the fridge at all times — leaving it at room temperature can increase bacterial growth and speed up deterioration.

• If you know you won't consume your store-bought or homemade latte within a few days, freezing is a good option. Store it in a freezer-safe container or ice cube trays for easy, portioned use.

• Homemade lattes may separate when frozen. This is perfectly normal. Just blend or shake well after thawing.

• If freezing, it's handy to let it defrost in the fridge overnight for use the next day.
