Iced (and Hot) Pumpkin Spice Latte
- 2 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1-2 shots espresso (about 1/4 cup of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine.)
Directions For Iced:
- Brew your coffee or espresso and let it sit out for a few minutes until it reaches room temperature. You could also put it in the fridge or freezer to speed up the cooling process.
- In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin and sugar.
- Cook on low heat, stirring, just until the sugar and pumpkin are desolved. Remove from heat.
- Stir in vanilla and spice.
- Transfer to a blender and process for 15 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry about it – just whisk the mixture really well with a wire whisk.
- Pour into a cup filled with ice.
- Add the espresso or coffee on top.
- Top with whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top.
Directions For Hot:
- In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin and sugar.
- Cook on medium heat, stirring, until steaming. Remove from heat.
- Stir in vanilla and spice.
- Transfer to a blender and process for 15 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry about it – just whisk the mixture really well with a wire whisk.
- Pour into a large mug or two mugs.
- Add the hot espresso or coffee on top.
- Top with whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top.
