How to make a Pumpkin Spice Latte 

This is such a wonderful fall drink and if you already make coffee drinks at home, you probably have most of the items that you need.

And if you love fall recipes, here’s a tip: start stocking up on canned pumpkin in August, you’ll be so glad you did when we start to see it disappearing from store shelves in the fall months like we did this year! 

Not only is this yummy Pumpkin Latte a wonderful autumn drink, but it also makes your home smell amazing!

Pumpkin Brown Sugar Syrup Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water 

1 cup brown sugar 

1/2 cup pumpkin puree 

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 

Latte Ingredients 

2 teaspoons Pumpkin Brown Sugar Syrup, or to taste

1 shot (1 1/2 ounces) espresso 

1/2 cup frothed milk (hot or cold) 

Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Latte Toppings:

Pumpkin Spice
Cinnamon Sticks and Star Anise

*The pumpkin spice will obviously add both flavor and a nice visual effect, and the cinnamon sticks and star anise will not only be so fragrance, but also add a wonderful fancy fall feel to your homemade pumpkin spice latte. 

Now it’s time to put it all together!

How to Make the Pumpkin Brown Sugar Syrup 

Heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the water, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. 

Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until all of the sugar has dissolved— about five minutes. 

Allow the mixture to cool and then transfer it to an airtight container. Store the syrup in the refrigerator until ready to use. 

How to Make the Latte 

Combine the pumpkin brown sugar syrup and espresso in the bottom of a mug.

How to Make Frothed Milk at Home 

• Use a milk frothing wand (they’re very cheap!) OR use an electric frother. I use the HadinEEon Milk Frother, 4 in 1 Electric Milk Frother and Steamer.
• Place the milk in the blender for 10-15 seconds, or until it starts to thicken 
• Add the milk to a mason jar and shake it vigorously for 30-60 seconds, or until it starts to thicken. 

Pour the frothed milk over the espresso. Top with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and an additional drizzle of pumpkin spice syrup, if desired. Enjoy. 

Recipe Notes 

Prep Time: 5 minutes. Cook Time: 5 Minutes. 

Light or dark brown sugar will work in this recipe. Use whatever you have on hand! 

Any milk will work in this recipe (even non-dairy) although whole milk will make the thickest, creamiest latte. 

How to make a Latte if You Don’t Have an Espresso Maker 

If you don’t have an espresso maker, you can still make this Pumpkin Brown Sugar Latte! If you don’t have an espresso maker, just use the following: 

• 1/4 cup store-bought coffee concentrate 
• 1 packet of instant espresso powder + 1/4 cup hot water 
• 1/4 cup very strong brewed coffee 

This latte is delicious when hot or iced!
