This post is about how to make a pumpkin spice latte recipe.

What do I need to make this recipe?
To make this recipe, you will need:
- Coffee: Use your favorite brand but make sure it’s strong. You only need a half a cup to make two servings.
- Milk: I use whole milk in this recipe but you can opt for 2% or another variation depending on your preference.
- Pumpkin Puree: Ensure this is 100% pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- Pumpkin Spice: If you do not have any on hand, it is really easy to make with this Perfect Homemade Pumpkin Spice recipe!
- Pure Vanilla Extract: This adds to the overall flavor profile.
- Sugar: I use white sugar in this recipe, but it can be substituted with other forms as well like maple syrup, monk fruit sugar, etc.
- Whipped Cream: This is optional but takes it to another level of indulgence. I suggest making your own if you have heavy cream and powdered sugar on hand. It takes only seconds to make!
How do I make pumpkin spice latte?
First, make a half cup of strong coffee. Set it aside.
Separately, in a medium saucepan on medium to medium-high heat, add the milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and sugar. Whisk to combine the ingredients and bring it to an almost boil (steaming hot).
Add the coffee to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Once the milk is frothy and hot, it’s done. Pour into cups.
Top with freshly-made whipped cream, if desired. Sprinkle with cinnamon or pumpkin spice and serve.
