Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (or 1 shot espresso)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2-4 tablespoons pumpkin spice coffee creamer
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Pumpkin pie spice (optional)
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Pour the 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee or 1 shot of espresso into a large mug to serve as the base of your latte.
- Mix Milk and Creamer: In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup of whole milk with 2 to 4 tablespoons of pumpkin spice coffee creamer, adjusting to your desired sweetness and spice level.
- Heat Milk Mixture: Pour the milk and creamer mixture into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Alternatively, use the steam wand on an espresso machine to heat and simultaneously froth the milk mixture for a creamier texture.
- Combine Coffee and Milk: Carefully pour the hot milk mixture into the mug with brewed coffee. Stir gently to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Top your Pumpkin Spice Latte with whipped cream, if using, and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top for extra warmth and aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of pumpkin spice coffee creamer to suit your taste preference from 2 to 4 tablespoons.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond, soy, or oat milk and use a dairy-free pumpkin spice creamer if available.
- If you don’t have a steam wand, heating in a saucepan works well but won’t produce froth.
- The whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice are optional but add a lovely finishing touch to the drink.
- Using strong brewed coffee or espresso ensures a balanced flavor that’s not too watery when mixed with milk and creamer.
