Pumpkin Spice Latte
With a few simple ingredients, you can create the perfect homemade pumpkin spice latte recipe that’s rich, creamy, and full of autumn flavour
Ingredients
- 1 dl strong hot coffee or 2 shots espresso
- 4.5 dl milk of choice dairy or non-dairy
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree or more to taste
- 1 tbsp sugar or maple syrup or more to taste
- 1/3 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice blend plus more for serving
- Whipped cream optional for serving
Instructions
- Heat the Milk and Pumpkin: Start by whisking together your milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin spice mix in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it’s hot and steamy, but not boiling. Add more spice or sweetness if needed.
- Blend for Creaminess: Once your milk mixture is heated, pour it into a blender and blend for about 30 seconds. This step is optional, but it makes your latte extra creamy and frothy, just like you’d get from your favorite café.
- Brew Your Coffee: While your milk mixture is heating, brew a shot of espresso or a strong cup of coffee. You can adjust the amount of coffee based on your preference—more for a stronger latte, or less for a milder version.
- Assemble Your Latte: Pour your brewed coffee into a mug and top it with the pumpkin milk mixture. Give it a quick stir to combine all the flavors.
- If you’re feeling indulgent, top your latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of pumpkin spice.
