Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee or espresso
- 1 tbsp pumpkin purée
- 1 tbsp sugar or maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- Whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions:
- Make Pumpkin Mixture:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, pumpkin purée, sugar (or maple syrup), and pumpkin pie spice. Heat the mixture for 2-3 minutes until warm and well combined.
- Add Coffee:
- Stir in the brewed coffee or espresso. Continue to heat for another 2 minutes, ensuring the mixture is fully blended and heated through.
- Serve:
- Pour the mixture into a mug. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of additional pumpkin pie spice for the perfect fall-inspired presentation.
Tips for Success:
- Pumpkin Purée: Use 100% pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Spice Blend: For extra spice flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the pumpkin mixture.
- Frothy Texture: Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously for a barista-style frothy latte.
Wine, Cocktail, Drink Pairing:
- Pair your Pumpkin Spice Latte with a buttery Chardonnay for a cozy fall evening or enjoy alongside a pumpkin-infused cocktail like a Pumpkin Spice Martini. For a non-alcoholic option, pair with a pumpkin-flavored muffin or pastry for the ultimate autumn treat.
