Pumpkin Spice Latte
A delicious (much better than Starbucks) pumpkin spice latte, to enjoy during fall season! The perfect, creamy, and sweet, milky drink, using one secret ingredient. No blender needed!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ cups milk (any fat percentage works, but 2% tastes best)
- ½ cups hot coffee
- ⅓ tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp cinnamon (save a pinch for garnish)
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp cardamom seeds (or ground)
- 1 ½ tsp brown sugar
- whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine pumpkin puree, milk, vanilla, sugar, and spices. Bring to a slight simmer (2-3 mins).
- Pour hot coffee into mug, and add the mixture through a strainer (if you don't mind cinnamon and nutmeg floating, feel free to omit the strainer).
- Garnish with whipped cream and cinnamon
Notes
- You can use any type of milk (even oat milk, just make sure it's not sweetened).
- Brown sugar works better than white or cane sugar, it adds a molasses-type texture.
- You may use coffee or espresso of your choice, just make sure it's at least warm.
