Ingredients
For Pumpkin Spice blend:
- 1 ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
For the Lattes:
- 2 oz approx ¼ cup fresh brewed espresso
- 3 tablespoon plain pumpkin puree
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice blend
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to your desired level of sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups unsweetened almond milk or non dairy milk of choice
Instructions
- To make the pumpkin spice blend, simply mix together all the spices and store in an airtight jar or container.
- Brew the espresso as per the directions on your particular espresso maker. In a small sauce pan, gently heat the pumpkin puree, the ½ teaspoon of pumpkin spice blend, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and ¼ cup of the almond milk until warm. Remove from heat and stir in the brewed espresso.
- Portion the pumpkin/espresso mixture into two of your favourite mugs.
- In another small sauce pan, heat the remaining almond milk just until it starts steaming. If you prefer your latte with foam, you'll need to froth the milk now. Remove from heat and gently pour over the espresso/pumpkin mixture. Stir to combine.
- Top with your favorite non-dairy whip or foam. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh grated nutmeg.
