If you're craving a cozy, warm pumpkin spice latte but don't want to head to a coffee shop, making one at home is easy and fun!
Follow these five simple steps to enjoy your perfect homemade pumpkin spice latte.
Gather Your IngredientYou’ll need the following ingredients: 1 cup of milk (or a dairy-free alternative), 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice).
1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice, 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee.
Heat the Milk and PumpkinIn a small saucepan, combine the milk and pumpkin puree. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until it's warm but not boiling. This helps the pumpkin flavor blend seamlessly into the milk.
Add the Sweeteners and SpiceAdd the maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and vanilla extract to the warm milk mixture. Stir well until everything is fully combined and the mixture is frothy.
Brew Your CoffeeBrew your espresso or strong coffee. If you don't have an espresso machine, any coffee maker will work just fine!
Combine and ServePour the brewed coffee or espresso into a mug, then slowly add the pumpkin milk mixture. Stir to combine, and top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of extra pumpkin spice if desired. Enjoy!
Now you have the perfect homemade pumpkin spice latte—ready to enjoy on any fall day!
