Notes
- Use full-fat dairy or plant-based milk alternatives for best foam texture.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice to your taste preference.
- Vanilla syrup can be substituted with maple syrup or honey if desired.
- For a vegan version, use coconut cream or other non-dairy cream and plant-based milk.
- Best served immediately to enjoy the frothy texture of the cold foam.
