Pumpkin Spice Latte
This homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte is a comforting blend of pumpkin, spices, and coffee, perfect for cozy autumn days.
Ingredients
For the Latte
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based) Use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option

- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice Plus extra for garnish

Instructions
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract over medium heat. Keep stirring until warmed throughout, ensuring it doesn’t boil.
- If you prefer a frothy texture, use a milk frother or whisk vigorously until the milk froths nicely.
- Prepare your brewed coffee or espresso and pour it into your favorite mug.
- Pour the warm pumpkin mixture over the coffee, gently mixing as you go.
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for a café-style finish.
- Enjoy your cozy Pumpkin Spice Latte warm.
Notes
You can add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for extra warmth, or drizzle some maple syrup for added sweetness. For a cold alternative, blend with ice for a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino.
