Ingredients
- 1 cup milk any kind
- ⅓ cup half and half or light cream
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup coffee or 4 ounces espresso, strong brewed
- 2 ounces baileys or hazelnut liquor, optional
- Whipped Cream and caramel sauce for topping
Instructions
- Brew 1 cup of strong coffee (I use a dark roast k-cup and use the smallest cup size of my machine, I brew two batches to make 1 cup).
- Combine milk, cream, sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Once small bubbles form along the edges, remove from the heat.
- Divide the milk mixture between 2 mugs (add liquor if using).
- Add coffee (or shots of espresso, see note) to the milk mixture.
- Top with whipped cream, additional pumpkin pie spice, and a drizzle of caramel sauce if you'd like.

Notes
- If using espresso, increase the milk to 1 1/2 cups and omit the cream for balance.
- To serve iced, heat and then cool the milk mixture before pouring it over ice with coffee.
- This latte is lightly sweetened; additional sugar or sugar-free sweeteners can be added to taste.
