📋 Ingredients:

  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves)

  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee or 1 shot espresso
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for topping

  2. Add vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

  3. Blend it smooth (optional): For a frothy texture, blend the mixture with a handheld frother or blender for 20–30 seconds.

📝 Tips for the Best Pumpkin Spice Latte:

  • Use real pumpkin: Avoid canned pumpkin pie filling; use plain puree for authentic flavor.
  • Froth the milk: Use a frother or blender to get that signature latte foam.
  • Make it vegan: Use plant-based milk and skip whipped cream or use coconut whip.
  • Want it iced? Let it cool, then pour over ice for an iced pumpkin spice latte!
