Ingredients

Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients

  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 1½ tablespoons granulated white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup brewed coffee
  • ¼ cup vanilla creamer
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Pumpkin pie spice (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a glass mixing cup, add the milk, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine these ingredients until smooth.
  2. Heat Mixture: Place the mixing cup in the microwave and heat the mixture for 1 minute to warm and blend the flavors. Remove carefully and pour the warm pumpkin mixture into your serving glass or large coffee mug.
  3. Brew Coffee: Brew 1 cup of fresh coffee using your preferred method, then pour it into the glass containing the pumpkin mixture.
  4. Add Creamer and Stir: Pour in ¼ cup of vanilla creamer to add creaminess and sweetness. Stir gently to combine all flavors evenly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top your pumpkin spice latte with a generous amount of whipped cream. Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice on top for an extra spicy, festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and vanilla creamer with almond or oat milk and coconut creamer respectively.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste or substitute with a sweetener of choice.
  • Use freshly brewed coffee for best flavor.
  • Microwave heating times may vary; adjust accordingly to avoid overheating the milk mixture.
  • Optional: Add a shot of espresso for a stronger coffee flavor.
