Pumpkin Spice Latte

Pumpkin Spice Latte

It's fall and it's pumpkin time! I love the scents of pumpkin spices and what better time than fall to use them in baking and in coffee too. There is something so soothing and wonderfully warm and  cozy sipping a cup of hot pumpkin spice latte by the fire and enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. 

If you like pumpkin spices you'll love this coffee. 

Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

INGREDIENTS

Pumpkin spice:

1 tbsp.  ground cinnamon

2 tsp  ground ginger

3/4 tsp  ground nutmeg

3/4 tsp ground cloves

Latte:

1 double expresso ( or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)

1/2 tsp  pumpkin spice

1 tbsp.  pumpkin puree

1 tsp  palm sugar ( or other sugar) 

1 cup 2%  milk or whole milk

Sweetened whipped cream (or can of whipped cream)

 

 DIRECTIONS

For the pumpkin spice, add all the grind spices in a bowl, and mix to combine.

In a mug whisk together the expresso, pumpkin spice, pumpkin puree, and white sugar until smooth and the sugar has dissolved. ( I don't like it very sweet,  so add more sugar if you need).

Next, steam milk in milk frother or with an small electric whisk and pour over coffee.

Place a dollop of freshly whipped cream on top.  (You can also use a piping bag fitted with a large star tip to dispense cream onto your latte.

Dust with a little bit of extra pumpkin spice and enjoy

 

Makes: 1 mug

NOTE:  For the pumpkin spices, I mix a double quantity and keep it in a closed  jar so I have it ready when I need it.
