Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup organic pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
- 2 tablespoons organic brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup strong brewed organic coffee or 1-2 shots of espresso
- 1 cup organic milk (whole milk, skim milk, or a non-dairy alternative like almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pumpkin Puree: In a small saucepan, combine the organic pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Heat it over low-medium heat, stirring continuously for about 2-3 minutes. This helps to bring out the flavours of the spices.
-
Add Brown Sugar: Stir in the organic brown sugar and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, or until the mixture is well combined and slightly caramelised. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
-
Brew the Coffee: While working on the pumpkin mixture, brew a strong cup of organic coffee or prepare espresso shots.
-
Warm the Milk: In another saucepan, warm the organic milk over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. You can also heat it in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes.
-
Combine Everything: Remove the pumpkin mixture from heat and whisk in the hot brewed coffee and vanilla extract. Make sure it's well combined.
-
Froth the Milk: If you have a milk frother, froth the warmed organic milk until it's creamy and has a nice layer of foam on top. If you don't have a frother, you can whisk vigorously or use an immersion blender.
-
Assemble: Pour the pumpkin coffee mixture into your favorite mug. Then, gently pour the frothed organic milk over the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon to let it float on top.
- Top and Garnish: If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the foam. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavour and a touch of elegance.
- Enjoy: Sip your organic pumpkin spice latte slowly and enjoy the warm, comforting flavours.
