Recipe Notes

Makes 6 10 oz drinks.

Now if you're like me and you don't want to have to go through this every time you want a pumpkin spice latte (which is like every day for me), read on.

The main reason I made this recipe for 6 cups of coffee was so I could have one 6 days during the week because 7 would be over indulgent. I make the pumpkin puree mixture in advance and store it in one of my glass Pyrex dishes for later use. It lasts me about a week in the fridge.

Each time I want to make a cup:

  1. Take 2 Tbsp of the pumpkin puree and plop it into a nice sized mug.
  2. Add 1 cup (8 oz) of milk to it and mix well.
  3. Heat the mixture how ever you'd like whether it be on the stove (in which case you need to transfer it to a small sauce pan), in the microwave or using a frothing wand. The latter is how I've been making mine.
  4. Once the pumpkin milk is thoroughly heated to your liking, add in 1 shot of espresso (or however many you need - haha). Each shot is approximately 2 oz.
  5. Then top the drink with a generous dousing of whipped cream and sprinkling of pumpkin pie spice for good measure.
