Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups milk of choice whole, 2%, or oat
  • 3 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 2.5 tbsp pure maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1.25 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.125 tsp fine salt
  • 0.5 cup hot brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup whipped cream for topping, optional
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Brew espresso or strong coffee and keep it hot.
  • Warm milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Whisk until steaming and smooth, 3–5 minutes; do not let it boil.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Froth the pumpkin milk with a whisk or hand frother until lightly foamy.
  • Divide espresso between two mugs, pour pumpkin milk over, and gently stir.
  • Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve warm.

Notes

For an iced version, chill the pumpkin milk, then pour over ice and add cold brew. Swap maple syrup with brown sugar or honey to taste. The pumpkin milk base keeps in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently and froth before serving.
