Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1–2 shots of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, almond, or coconut)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice mix (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnishes

  • Whipped cream
  • Additional pumpkin spice or ground cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brew the Coffee. Start by brewing a shot or two of strong espresso or your favorite robust coffee, ensuring the base packs plenty of flavor to stand up to the pumpkin and spices.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Pumpkin Spice Mixture. Combine pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin spice mix, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir and cook for a few minutes until warm and fragrant, allowing flavors to meld perfectly.
  3. Step 3: Steam or Heat the Milk. Warm your chosen milk until hot but not boiling, using a steam wand if you have one or gently heating it on the stove to create creamy texture and foam.
  4. Step 4: Combine and Froth. Mix the warm pumpkin-spice mixture with the brewed coffee, then add the steamed milk, holding back some foam to spoon on top for that signature latte finish.
  5. Step 5: Garnish and Serve. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice or cinnamon to give it that final delightful touch, ready for you to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso or coffee for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Create your own pumpkin spice blend to customize the warmth and sweetness.
  • Keep milk temperature under 150°F to prevent scalding and bitterness.
  • Froth milk well to add luxurious texture and enhance the drinking experience.
  • Experiment with different milk types like oat or almond for varied sweetness and flavor.
