- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree,
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice,
- 2 tablespoons sugar,
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract,
- 1 cup milk (any type),
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee,
- Whipped cream (for topping),
- Pinch of nutmeg (for topping)
Combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, sugar, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, constantly stirring until it’s hot and the sugar has dissolved. Do not let it boil.
Add milk to the saucepan and heat, stirring frequently, until hot. Be careful not to let the milk boil to avoid a scalded flavor.
Transfer the mixture into a blender. Blend on a high setting for about 30 seconds until frothy. Exercise caution when blending hot liquids. Start slow and increase speed gradually.
Pour the strong brewed coffee into a large mug, then pour the frothy pumpkin milk mixture on top. Stir to combine the flavors.
Top your latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg for the perfect finish. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin spice latte!
