Ingredients You'll Need
To create your pumpkin spice latte, gather the following ingredients:
- ½ cup of freshly brewed black coffee
- ¾ cup of whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
- Spiced pumpkin syrup
- A splash of vanilla extract or syrup
- Whipped cream (optional)
- A drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional)
- A dusting of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee
Brew a strong cup of black coffee using your preferred method. This will serve as the base of your latte. - Combine Ingredients
In your chosen mug or glass, pour in the freshly brewed coffee. Add the spiced pumpkin syrup and a splash of vanilla extract or syrup. Stir well to mix the flavours. - Add Milk
Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat until it's steaming, but not boiling. Froth the milk using a whisk or milk frothier until it's light and airy. - Assemble the Latte
Pour the frothed milk into the coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Spoon the foam on top of the latte. - Add Toppings
If desired, top your latte with whipped cream. Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the whipped cream for added sweetness. Finish by sprinkling a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for that classic pumpkin spice flavour.
