Ingredients for a Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte
Coffee/Espresso – Use everyday coffee that’s been brewed just a bit stronger or a few shots of espresso. I use a french roast k-cup with the smallest coffee size setting. Pumpkin – You’ll want to use real pumpkin puree (we use canned) for great flavor. Sweetener – We add a bit of sugar but brown sugar works too! Dairy – Light cream or half and half make give this drink its rich and creamy texture, but any non-dairy alternative will do. Oat milk, almond milk, or even coconut milk all work. Toppings – Top it with some homemade whipped cream, caramel sauce, and of course a little sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Try a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or your spice blends like apple pie spice.
Variations
Whisk in a little bit of vanilla extract. Swap out white sugar for maple syrup or even a touch of honey if you’d like.While heating the milk mixture, add a few cloves or a slice or two of fresh ginger. Discard before serving.
