Pumpkin Spice Latte
There's nothing more comforting on a fall morning than a homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte. Cozy, creamy, and full of warm spices, this easy fall drink is your new go-to for autumn!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon Pumpkin Spice Syrup or to taste
- 2 shots espresso about 2 oz if using a machine, 2.5 oz if using The London Sip, or dissolve 1–2 teaspoon instant espresso powder in 2 oz hot water
- ¾ cup whole milk or oat milk for dairy-free
- Whipped cream pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon stick for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare espresso using The London Sip, a traditional machine, or instant espresso.
- In a small saucepan, warm the milk until steaming but not boiling (about 150°F).
- Froth milk with a handheld frother (20–30 seconds for creamy foam, 40–50 for stiff peaks).
- Add espresso to a large mug, then pour in pumpkin syrup to taste.
- Pour frothed milk over top, spooning foam on last.
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Add a cinnamon stick (optional).
Notes
- Heat the milk until just steaming, not boiling; overheated milk won’t froth as well.
- Froth in a tall, heatproof cup to prevent splashes and get better foam volume.
- If you prefer a sweeter latte, add the syrup directly to the espresso before pouring in the milk; it dissolves more evenly.
- Serve immediately for the best foam texture and flavor balance.
