INGREDIENTS
- 250 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree 30 g / 1 oz
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice dose to taste- plus more for serving
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 espresso or strong coffee 50 ml / 1.7 fl oz
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix

- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 pinches ground clove
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
For Topping
- Whipped cream optional for serving
- Salted butter caramel optional for serving
PREPARATION
- In a saucepan, gently heat the milk with the pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and maple syrup, stirring until hot and infused.
- Note: If you’re using granulated sugar or brown sugar, mix it first with the pumpkin puree and spices, then heat while stirring. Add the milk and finish heating, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract. Lightly froth the milk with a milk frother or small whisk, if desired.
- Pour the espresso or strong coffee into a tall glass, then add the infused milk and stir.
- Top with a swirl of whipped cream and a drizzle of salted butter caramel.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of leftover spices or cinnamon, if you like.
- I decorated mine with a few cookies made from my easy pie dough, very crisp and lightly flaky.
- If you love spiced hot drinks or are a loyal fan of Starbucks’ PSL, you’ll love this quick and easy homemade version.
