Pumpkin Spice Latte

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or 1 shot espresso
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp sugar (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine the ingredients: In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, stirring frequently to combine.
  2. Froth the milk: If you have a milk frother, use it to froth the mixture until creamy and light. If not, you can use a whisk or blender to achieve some frothiness.
  3. Prepare the coffee: Brew your coffee or espresso and pour it into a large mug.
  4. Combine and serve: Slowly pour the warm pumpkin milk mixture over the coffee, stirring gently to combine. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
