Know What You Put in Your Pumpkin Spice Latte

Check out our into easy recipe for a delicious, cozy pumpkin spice latte!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 cup milk (any kind: dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
• 2-3 tablespoons pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (or sweetener of choice, adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or 1 shot of espresso
• Whipped cream (optional but recommended for that coffee-shop touch)

Here is How You Pump Up Your Spice…

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pumpkin Milk Base
   In a small saucepan, combine milk, pumpkin puree, and sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring constantly until hot but not boiling. This helps infuse the milk with the pumpkin flavour.
2. Add the Flavour
   Add pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract to the milk mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed. You’ll smell that warm, cozy aroma filling your kitchen already!
3. Blend for Froth (Optional)
   For a creamy, frothy latte, pour the mixture into a blender and blend for 30 seconds or use a hand frother. This step gives the latte a nice, café-style froth.
4. Combine with Coffee
   Pour your freshly brewed coffee or shot of espresso into a mug, then add the pumpkin milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
5. Top It Off
   For the full PSL experience, top your latte with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.

Tips for Customising Your PSL

To customize your PSL, you can adjust the sugar to suit your sweetness preference, adding a little more if you like it extra sweet or reducing it for a lighter taste. For a bolder spice flavour, simply add an extra dash of pumpkin pie spice. If you’re craving an indulgent treat, try swapping milk for half-and-half or heavy cream to make it extra creamy. And for a refreshing twist, cool down the pumpkin milk mixture, then pour it over ice with cold brewed coffee to enjoy an iced pumpkin spice latte.

Why Make Your Own PSL?

Making a PSL at home lets you control exactly what goes into your drink. You can tweak the flavours, reduce sugar, or choose alternative milks for a lighter option. Plus, it’s a fraction of the cost and gives you a cozy, hands-on coffee-making experience.

Enjoy your homemade PSL and embrace all the fall vibes! With this recipe, you’ll have a perfectly spiced, delicious latte that brings the café experience right to your kitchen.

Happy Pumpkin Spice Season.
