Description

Enjoy the comforting flavors of fall with this homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte, a delightful blend of espresso, creamy steamed milk, and puréed pumpkin, sweetened with vanilla-infused simple syrup and topped with warm spices.

Ingredients

Scale

Simple Syrup

  • 60ml water
  • 30g caster sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Latte

  • 60ml espresso
  • 2 tsp puréed pumpkin (from a can)
  • 200ml milk
  • Cinnamon or nutmeg, to sprinkle
  • Cinnamon stick (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make Simple Syrup: In a small pot, combine 60ml water, 30g caster sugar, and ½ tsp vanilla extract. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare Espresso and Syrup: Pour 25ml of the simple syrup into a mug. Add approximately 60ml of espresso, brewed using an espresso machine or your preferred method, on top of the syrup.
  3. Steam Pumpkin Milk: In a milk jug, combine 200ml of milk with 2 teaspoons of smooth puréed pumpkin. Steam the mixture using a steam wand or milk frother until heated and textured. If using a frother, ensure the pumpkin purée is well blended into the milk for a smooth consistency.
  4. Combine and Garnish: Pour the heated pumpkin milk mixture over the espresso and syrup in the mug. Lightly dust the top with cinnamon or nutmeg. Garnish with a cinnamon stick laid across the glass; for an extra touch, singe the ends with a kitchen blow torch if available.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin purée for convenience and consistent flavor.
  • If you do not have an espresso machine, strong brewed coffee can be a substitute.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup added.
  • Singeing cinnamon sticks adds a smoky aroma but is optional.
  • Milk alternatives like oat or almond milk can be used, though steaming results may vary.
