Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

by Joanne at Inspired Taste

Make the popular coffee house pumpkin latte at home. Canned or homemade pumpkin puree both work well in this recipe.

INGREDIENTS-

2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
1 to 3 tablespoons sugar, depending on how sweet you like it
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more for serving
½ cup strong hot coffee
Whipped cream, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS –

Add milk, pumpkin puree, and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until hot, but do not boil.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and the coffee.

Divide the mixture between two mugs. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

NOTES –

Milk: This tastes best with 2% or whole milk, but you can substitute with skim milk. Non-dairy milk like soy, almond, or coconut milk will also work.

Sugar: This recipe calls for 1 to 3 tablespoons of sugar. How much you use is up to you. We tend to prefer less sugar in our drinks. You can also use a sugar substitute. Add this to taste.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend: Find pumpkin pie spice at the store or make it at home. You likely have everything you need to make it already. Mix the following spices in a spice jar: 1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon + 2 teaspoons ground ginger + ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg + a pinch of ground cloves.

Enjoy!
