Pumpkin Spice Latte
Description
The Pumpkin Spice Latte is made by gently heating milk, brewed coffee, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice in a saucepan. Whisking until combined and simmered results in a creamy, spiced coffee beverage with a subtle natural sweetness from the maple syrup and the distinct autumnal flavor of pumpkin and spices.
The texture is smooth and rich, with the pumpkin integrating without splitting when served fresh. The option to tweak sweetness or spice levels allows personalization to taste, and adding more coffee increases the coffee’s intensity.
This latte is perfect as a warm seasonal drink, enjoyed fresh from the stove. Since the pumpkin can begin to separate upon standing, stirring before reheating can help restore consistency. A blender variation offers a creamier, stronger coffee alternative using almond butter and additional brewed coffee, suited to those seeking a bolder profile.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk (4 ounces; any type you prefer)
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (4 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin 19 grams, puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (20 grams; plus more to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the ingredients and use a whisk to stir, incorporating everything smoothly.
- As soon as the mixture starts to simmer, stir well to make sure it's evenly warmed up, then pour into a mug and serve right away. You can adjust the flavoring to taste, adding more maple syrup (I like an extra 1/2 tablespoon), or more spice, depending on your preference. You can also add more coffee for a stronger coffee flavor. This recipe is best served warm right away, as the pumpkin will start to separate as it sits, but you can simply give it a stir to reincorporate everything again.
Notes
- Nutrition info is approximate and for the whole batch made with almond milk.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, blend brewed coffee with pumpkin, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and almond butter until smooth and serve immediately.
- This drink is best enjoyed warm and fresh, as pumpkin separation may occur if it sits too long; stirring helps reincorporate ingredients.
