It’s that time of year when everything feels cozier with a touch of pumpkin spice. Skip the café lines and make your own Pumpkin Spice Latte right at home! This warm, creamy drink is the perfect way to embrace the crisp autumn air while indulging in the rich flavors of the season.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk)
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 shot of espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Extra pumpkin spice for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Make the Pumpkin Mixture:
In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until it begins to steam. Be careful not to bring it to a boil. - Brew the Coffee:
Brew your espresso or strong coffee. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a French press or a pour-over method to brew a strong cup of coffee. - Combine & Stir:
Pour the brewed espresso (or coffee) into a mug, and then pour the pumpkin-spiced milk mixture over it. Stir to combine the flavors. - Top it Off:
Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top, and sprinkle with extra pumpkin spice or cinnamon if you like. - Serve & Enjoy:
Your homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte is ready to enjoy! Perfect for sipping by the fire or during a crisp fall afternoon.
Pro Tip:
Make a bigger batch of the pumpkin spice milk mixture and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days! You can easily heat it up and make a latte in a matter of minutes.
