Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the latte
  • 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee
  • 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree avoid pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup replace with honey, agave syrup, or brown sugar syrup if desired
  • 1 to 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice can substitute with cinnamon for a milder flavor
  • 1 cup milk choose dairy or plant-based milk
  • whipped cream optional topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a measuring cup, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and espresso. Stir until the mixture looks even and the pumpkin is well blended into the coffee.
  2. Pour the milk into a small saucepan and warm it over medium-low heat. Stir now and then, and remove it from the heat when it is very hot but not boiling.
Mixing
  1. Slowly pour the hot milk into the pumpkin and coffee mixture. Stir until everything is well combined. Taste the latte and adjust the sweetness or spice if desired.
  2. For a smoother texture, pour the latte through a fine mesh sieve into your mug.
Serving
  1. Serve the latte right away. Top it with whipped cream and a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, if desired.

Notes

Drink the latte right after making it for best flavor and texture. Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently without boiling.
