Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup espresso or strong coffee decoction
  • sweetened whipped cream

Instructions

  • To make pumpkin spice latte, combine pumpkin puree, milk, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice in a medium sized microwave safe bowl. Use a plastic wrap to cover the bowl. 
  • Microwave the bowl till the milk becomes hot. Once done, whisk the mixture vigorously until the milk becomes foamy. This should ideally not take more than 30 seconds to a minute. 
  • Now, in a large cup combine the foamed pumpkin spice milk and espresso or coffee. Top the latte with whipped cream and sprinkle some pumpkin pie spice as garnish. 
  • Another alternate and perhaps an even easier way to make this beverage would be to combine all the aforementioned ingredients in a blender and blend it until the resultant consistency is smooth and creamy. Once done, taste and adjust the seasonings as required. Your pumpkin spice latte is ready to be poured into a mug. You can either have it cold by adding ice cubes or heat it over the stove and have it warm.

  • You can add spices like nutmeg, cardamom or cinnamon powder to the latte if you prefer. 

Notes

You are likely to get a slightly grainy texture if you allow the drink to rest for too long. Keep that in mind when you make this drink at home. For a caffeine-free drink, skip the coffee and add more almond or coconut milk instead. Adjust the sweetness and spices as and how you prefer. If you make use of granulated sweetener such as coconut sugar, you will have to ensure that it properly dissolves before serving.
