Instructions

Step 1: Make the Pumpkin Spice Base
In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and all the spices. Stir until completely smooth. This makes enough for 4 lattes—store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Step 2: Brew Your Espresso
Pull 2 shots of espresso or brew 1/3 cup of very strong coffee. You want it concentrated because the pumpkin base will mellow it out. If you’re using regular brewed coffee, double your normal grounds.
Step 3: Combine Espresso and Pumpkin Base
While espresso is hot, add 2 tablespoons of your pumpkin spice base to your mug. Pour the hot espresso over it and stir vigorously for 15-20 seconds until completely combined. The heat helps dissolve everything smoothly.
Step 4: Steam and Add Milk
