Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Spice Latte
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 1½ tablespoons granulated white sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- ¼ cup vanilla creamer
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Pumpkin pie spice (for topping)
Instructions
- Mix the base ingredients: In a glass mixing cup, combine the whole milk, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the pumpkin is evenly incorporated.
- Heat the mixture: Place the mixture in the microwave and heat for 1 minute. This warms the blend and helps meld the flavors together. Carefully remove from the microwave and pour the warm mixture into your serving glass.
- Brew and add coffee: Brew 1 cup of fresh coffee and pour it into the glass containing the warm pumpkin mixture. Stir gently to combine the coffee with the pumpkin-spiced milk blend.
- Add creamer and garnish: Pour in the vanilla creamer to add extra creaminess and sweetness. Finally, top the latte with a generous amount of whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice on top for added flavor and decorative appeal.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar according to your taste.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and creamer with almond milk or oat milk creamer.
- Use freshly brewed, strong coffee to balance the sweetness and spice of the latte.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; watch carefully to avoid overheating.
- To enhance the pumpkin flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg along with the pumpkin pie spice.
