Ingredients
Scale
Latte Base
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- 1 tablespoon (15 g) pumpkin puree, 100% pure (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tablespoon (21 g) honey, raw preferred
- 2 shots (approx. 2 ounces / 60 ml) brewed espresso
- ½ teaspoon (1.3 g) pumpkin spice
Toppings
- Whipped cream (optional), homemade recommended
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Pumpkin Mixture: In a large cup or mug, mix 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon honey, ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice, and 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso. This creates the flavorful base of your pumpkin honey latte.
- Add Milk: Pour 1 cup of whole milk into the mug with the pumpkin and espresso mixture, allowing the flavors to meld and adding creamy richness to the drink.
- Froth Milk and Blend: Use a milk frother or a vigorous whisk to blend and froth the mixture until smooth and airy. If the milk doesn’t froth well, warm it to about 150°F (65°C) for 1-2 minutes on medium heat before frothing.
- Garnish and Serve: Top your latte with a swirl of homemade whipped cream and sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly on top. For best results, gently tap the whipped cream surface before sprinkling to prevent clumping.
Notes
- Use fresh espresso for the best flavor.
- Warming the milk slightly helps achieve better froth.
- Homemade whipped cream enhances the latte’s texture and taste.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste for sweetness preference.
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
