Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 oz fresh espresso or chilled strong brewed coffee
  • Ice cubes
  • Whipped cream for garnish

Method
 

  1. Combine the milk, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice in a clean mason jar.
  2. Seal the lid tightly and shake the container vigorously for 30 seconds until the mixture is fully incorporated and slightly frothy.
  3. Fill a tall glass with large ice cubes.
  4. Pour the 2 ounces of espresso or coffee over the ice.
  5. Pour the prepared pumpkin milk mixture slowly over the coffee base.
  6. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice before serving.

Notes

Use oat or almond milk for a superior dairy-free froth. Ensure the pumpkin puree is plain canned pumpkin rather than spiced pie filling. Use chilled coffee to prevent the drink from becoming watery.
