RECIPE & PROCESS

Amazing Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte (No Special Equipment Needed)

INGREDIENTS

  • (1 large or 2 small servings)
  • 2 cups (480ml) milk — dairy or your favorite alternative (oat, almond, soy)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
  • 1–2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger & cloves)
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) strong brewed coffee or 1 or 2 shots of espresso if you have it.
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • A sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin spice for garnish

HOW TO MAKE IT

  • Warm the milk & pumpkin ingredients
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, pumpkin purée, sugar, and pumpkin spice.
  • Heat until hot but don't boil it. Just heat it until it's steaming.
  • Add vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Whisk vigorously, shake in a sealed jar, or use a handheld frother for 20–30 seconds until it gets slightly foamy.
  • (No frother? Just whisk quickly, it will still get creamy)
  • Adding / Combining: Add the brewed coffee or espresso to your mug. Combine: Pour the pumpkin-spiced milk mixture over the coffee.
  • Topping it off: Finish with whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon or pumpkin spice.

Serving Suggestions

  • For extra richness, use half milk + half cream.
  • Add a drizzle of caramel for a coffeehouse-style twist.

ICED VERSION

  • Want to make an iced version instead of a hot one? Chill the milk mixture and serve over ice before adding coffee.

RESULTS

  • A perfectly balanced, creamy Pumpkin Spice Latte that tastes like fall and no espresso machine needed.

Enjoy

Cheers
