Pumpkin Spice Latte 🎃☕ Warm, Creamy, and Comfortably Spiced

— The Ultimate Cozy Cup Made From Scratch

This Pumpkin Spice Latte is everything you love about fall in a mug: bold coffee, real pumpkin purée, warm spices, and creamy milk, all lightly sweetened and perfectly cozy.

No syrups, no drive-thru — just a homemade, café-quality PSL you can enjoy anytime the craving hits.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• ½ cup strong brewed coffee or 1 shot espresso
• ¾ cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, or almond)
• 2 tbsp pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
• 1–2 tbsp maple syrup, brown sugar, or sweetener of choice
• ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon + nutmeg + clove)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for topping (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Pumpkin Spice Base

1. In a small saucepan, whisk together pumpkin purée, spices, and sweetener with a splash of milk over medium heat.
2. Stir until smooth and warm — about 1–2 minutes.

Step 2: Add Milk and Flavor

1. Add the remaining milk and heat until steaming, but not boiling.
2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Step 3: Combine With Coffee

1. Pour the hot coffee or espresso into a mug.
2. Add the pumpkin-spiced milk mixture and stir gently to combine.
3. Top with whipped cream and a dusting of spice if desired.

Final Thoughts
