Easiest Recipe for a Pumpkin Spice Latte
There’s something about a Pumpkin Spice Latte that makes fall feel official. The creamy warmth, the scent of cinnamon and nutmeg, and that perfect blend of coffee and sweetness, it’s comfort in a cup. Making it at home is easier than you’d think, and the best part is you can adjust everything to your own taste.
Ingredients
Method
- In a small saucepan, combine milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin spice. Warm over medium heat, stirring often, until hot but not boiling.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. If you want that café-style froth, use a hand frother or blend the mixture for a few seconds until it’s foamy.
- Pour the coffee or espresso into your favorite mug, then slowly add the pumpkin mixture on top. Stir gently to combine.
- Finish with whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon.
Notes
For extra richness: add a splash of heavy cream before frothing.
For a twist: drizzle a little caramel sauce over the whipped cream.
For dairy-free: swap in almond, soy, or oat milk. Oat gives the creamiest texture.
