You’ll only need a handful of ingredients to make this super creamy, flavorful pumpkin spice latte.
- Espresso: We prefer using espresso in the latte for that stronger coffee flavor.
- Milk: For that delicious, creamy element. Feel free to use any milk you’d like, preferably one that froths well.
- Pumpkin flavor: We’re using real deal – pumpkin puree – plus some pumpkin pie spice to get all of that fall flavor.
- Sweetener: We’re just using 1 - 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup to naturally sweeten the pumpkin spice latte. You’ll also want to add some vanilla extract to bring out the sweet flavors.
That’s right, this easy homemade pumpkin spice latte comes together in just about 10 minutes and 4 easy steps:
- Heat the milk. Start by pouring your milk of choice into a small pot and heat over medium-low heat until it is hot and almost simmering. Be careful to not boil the milk.
- Mix the ingredients. Make your espresso or coffee and pour it into a large mug or glass mason jar. Mix in pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla until well-combined.
- Froth the milk. Use a milk frother to froth your milk for about 30 seconds or until foamy, then pour into the mug on top of the pumpkin espresso mixture. Reserve the extra foam, and spoon it on top.
- Top & Enjoy. Feel free to top with whipped cream if you want get a little fancy. Sprinkle with a little extra pumpkin spice or cinnamon and enjoy!
