How to make your own pumpkin coffee

1. Brew the Coffee

Brew espresso or strong coffee and set aside.

Tip: If you don’t own an espresso machine, a French press or even instant espresso powder will give you that bold kick. Brew it stronger than usual since the milk mixture will soften the flavor.

2. Make the Pumpkin Mixture

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth and heated through, but do not boil.

Tips:

Whisk as you heat so the pumpkin blends evenly with the milk.
For a silky texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve before using.
If you prefer extra creaminess, swap part of the almond milk for oat milk or a splash of coconut milk.

3. Combine Coffee and Pumpkin Mixture

Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug. Slowly add the hot pumpkin milk mixture on top.

Tip: Warm your mug with hot water first so your latte stays hot longer. For a layered look, pour the milk mixture over the back of a spoon.

4. Garnish

Top with vegan whipped cream if you like and sprinkle extra cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.

Optional flair: Add a drizzle of maple syrup, caramel sauce, or even a touch of nutmeg for that coffeehouse finish.

5. Serve

Enjoy immediately while it’s warm and cozy.

Tip: If the drink sits for a while, give it a quick stir since the spices and pumpkin may settle. Making this for friends? Just double or triple the recipe in a saucepan and pour into individual mugs.
