Description

Celebrate the start of fall with the most iconic seasonal coffee drink — the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Made with just a handle of simple ingredients, you can enjoy your own pumpkin spice lattes at home whenever you'd like and for way less. 


Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1-2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup strong hot coffee or espresso
  • whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, add milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk well and heat over medium heat until warm, about 2 minutes.
  2. Divide the mixture into two cups and top each with 1/4 cup coffee. Stir well.
  3. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice, if desired.

Notes

How to store: After making your pumpkin spice mixture, store it in the fridge for 4-5 days in a large glass jar or sealed jug.

How to reheat: Warm your milk mixture in a small saucepan or use a frother or steam wand. Pour the mixture over the hot coffee in your mug, stir, and top with whipped cream and extra pumpkin pie spice.

How to freeze: Make a double batch of this recipe and freeze the extra milk mixture for later in a freezer-safe container. Let the mixture thaw in the fridge for several hours before reheating. Dairy milk does not thaw as well as non-dairy milk, so you may want to choose coconut milk or cashew milk.
