❤️ Why You'll Love It

• First it is homemade which means no weird ingredients or components you do not know.
• Less sugar than store bought and you can use your favorite sweeteners here.
• Fully loaded with pumpkin flavors so you can enjoy the season to the fullest.

Plus it is way cheaper than the one you get at Starbucks with much fewer calories. I could drink that daily with no regrets. Making your own pumpkin spice latte is really so easy with few simple ingredients.

📝 Ingredients

Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. You'll find the full measurements and instructions in the recipe card (printable) at the bottom of the page.

• Pumpkin Puree, you can use canned or homemade pumpkin puree
• Coffee, use your favorite coffee
• Milk, regular milk is my favorite
• Pumpkin pie spice mix, homemade or store bought whatever you prefer.
• Sweetener, use cane sugar, maple syrup, honey, stevia... etc
• Vanilla extract.

🥄 Instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.

• On medium heat place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk together until smooth and bubbly.
• Pour in cups and enjoy. If you are frothing the milk check the frothing notes below.

👍 Tips for Success

• Use a strong coffee for this recipe or you can also use espresso.
• Make sure you get pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
• You can use any milk plant based or regular. I love using whole milk, oat milk, soy milk and coconut milk are great options for non-dairy milk.
• Top your drink with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin spice mix for an elegant restaurant look.
• Using brown sugar makes this drink taste more festive.
• To make your drink frothy mix all the ingredients except for the milk in the sauce pan. Heat milk separately then froth using a handheld frother, coffee press or a regular blender. Pour the milk over, mix and enjoy.
