Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1–2 tbsp sugar, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice
- ½ tsp pumpkin spice mix (or blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee or 1–2 shots espresso
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Brew strong coffee or espresso and set aside.
- In a saucepan, heat milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin spice, and vanilla until hot but not boiling. Whisk until smooth.
- Froth the mixture with a frother, blender, or whisk until foamy.
- Pour coffee into a mug and add the pumpkin-spice milk mixture. Stir gently.
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice before serving.

- Maple syrup adds a lovely depth of flavor compared to sugar.
- Always whisk well to prevent pumpkin from settling at the bottom.
