Ingredients
Scale
1 - 1 1/2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 Tbsp pumpkin puree (optional)
Double shot espresso
6-8 oz of milk
For homemade whipped cream:
2 - 2 1/2 Tbsp heavy cream
1/4 tsp pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Put the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice into a mug and stir together with a spoon. Add the pumpkin puree (if using) and stir together again.
- Brew a double shot of espresso and pour into the mug. Whisk together to combine all of the ingredients.
- Steam the milk and pour into the mug.
- To homemake whipped cream: Put the whipped cream and dash of maple syrup into a small, narrow glass (I use my small espresso mug for this!). Use a milk frother to blend for about 15-18 seconds until thickened but still pourable. Pour on top of the latte, sprinkle some pumpkin spice on top, and enjoy!
