Description
Pumpkin Spice Latte is a cozy, creamy fall favorite made with real pumpkin, warm spices, and coffee. It’s comforting, perfectly spiced, and easy to make at home—no coffee shop required.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or 1–2 shots espresso
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Extra pumpkin spice or cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, pumpkin purée, sugar, and pumpkin spice until hot and well combined.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Blend for 20 seconds in a blender or froth with a milk frother until foamy.
- Pour coffee or espresso into a mug, then top with the pumpkin milk mixture.
- Add whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use oat, almond, or coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
- Add vanilla or caramel syrup for extra flavor depth.
- Make it iced by blending and serving over ice instead of heating.
- Add a second shot of espresso for a stronger drink.
- Store extra pumpkin milk in the fridge and reheat gently before using.
