Pumpkin Spice Latte

This Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe uses a simple blend of pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, hot brewed coffee, and milk. The ingredients are gently heated together, allowing the spices and pumpkin to infuse the coffee's rich flavor. The simmering process creates a smooth, lightly spiced drink with a creamy texture from the milk.

The sweetness and spice balance the robustness of the coffee, while the pumpkin adds a subtle earthy note. The drink is finished by pouring it into a mug and optionally topping it with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, enhancing the aroma and visual appeal.

The recipe can be adjusted to multiple servings or adapted by substituting dairy milk with plant-based alternatives. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for up to three days, making it practical for preparing in batches.
