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
- 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.
- Divide the mixture into two cups and top each with 1/4 cup coffee. Stir well.
- 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.
