Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients

  • 2 shots espresso (4 oz) or ½ cup strongly brewed coffee
  • 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 to 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk preferred; alternatives like oat or almond milk can be used)
  • Whipped cream, optional

Instructions

  1. Combine Pumpkin and Coffee Mixture: In a measuring cup, add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and espresso or brewed coffee. Mix until all ingredients are well combined to form a flavorful base.
  2. Heat and Froth Milk: Heat the milk until very hot but not boiling. You can froth it if desired. Use a milk frother like a Smeg or heat in a small saucepan on the stovetop.
  3. Add Milk to Mixture: Pour the heated milk into the pumpkin and coffee mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors evenly. Optionally, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture to remove any gritty spice particles and pumpkin pulp.
  4. Serve: Pour the latte into a mug. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice on top if desired. Serve immediately for the best taste and warmth.

Notes

  • Straining through a fine mesh sieve is recommended to achieve a smoother latte and remove any gritty texture from the spices or pumpkin.
  • Honey or brown sugar can be used as alternatives to maple syrup for sweetness.
  • Ensure your pumpkin pie spice is fresh for the best flavor, as stale spices will reduce the drink’s quality.
  • For a creamier texture, blend all ingredients except espresso together, then add the espresso afterward.
