Cozy up with this creamy Pumpkin Spice Latte made with homemade pumpkin syrup for the perfect fall coffee treat.
Ingredients
Pumpkin Spice Syrup:
- 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 cup water
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
Latte:
- ½ cup pumpkin spice syrup
- 1-2 shots, (1 ounce each) espresso
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed and frothed
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Pumpkin pie spice, for topping
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to help the sugar dissolve.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer until it has reduced by about half, about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Carefully strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a container with a tight-fitting lid to remove any solids.
- Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- To make the latte, pour pumpkin spice syrup and espresso into a large coffee mug.
- Add warmed, frothed milk and stir gently to combine.
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Serve warm and enjoy!
