Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Begin by brewing a cup of your favorite coffee. You can use a coffee maker, French press, or any method you prefer. Aim for a strong brew to balance the other flavors in the latte.
- While the coffee is brewing, gather all your ingredients: 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it is warm and the ingredients are well combined. Do not let it boil.
- Once the milk mixture is heated through, remove it from the heat. You can use a frother or whisk to froth the milk mixture if you prefer a creamier texture.
- Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug, then slowly add the warm pumpkin milk mixture on top of the coffee. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
- Top your Pumpkin Pie Mocha Latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream. If desired, you can sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top for garnish.
- Enjoy your homemade Pumpkin Pie Mocha Latte while it's warm!
Tips
- Brew Strong Coffee: For the best flavor, opt for a strong coffee blend. This will ensure that the coffee stands out against the creamy pumpkin mixture.
- Milk Alternatives: Feel free to experiment with different types of milk, such as almond, oat, or soy, to suit your dietary preferences.
- Frothing Techniques: If you don’t have a frother, you can whisk the milk mixture vigorously by hand or shake it in a sealed jar to create a frothy texture.
- Spice It Up: Don’t hesitate to adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice according to your taste. A little extra can enhance the seasonal flavor!
- Garnish Creatively: Besides whipped cream, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for an extra festive touch.
- Make It Ahead: Prepare the pumpkin milk mixture in advance and store it in the fridge. Just reheat it when you're ready to enjoy your latte!
- Serve with Treats: Pair your Pumpkin Pie Mocha Latte with a slice of pumpkin bread or a cozy cookie for the ultimate fall experience.
