A quick and easy 5-ingredient fall drink that delivers the perfect balance of warm spices and creamy texture, ideal for cozy autumn mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • ¼ cup (60 g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of your choice (whole milk, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar (maple syrup as a substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon homemade pumpkin pie spice (½ tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg, ¼ tsp ground ginger, pinch of ground cloves)

Instructions

  1. Brew about 1 cup (240 ml) of strong coffee or 2 shots of espresso and pour into your favorite mug; set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup (60 g) pumpkin puree with 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar; stir to blend.
  3. Add 1 cup (240 ml) milk to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, whisking frequently until hot but not boiling (around 160°F / 70°C), about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Froth the milk mixture using a handheld milk frother or whisk vigorously; alternatively, pour into a sealed jar and shake until frothy.
  5. Pour the warm pumpkin spice milk over the brewed coffee, stir gently, and optionally top with extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.

Notes

Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Heat milk gently to avoid curdling. Frothing is optional but recommended for texture. Adjust sweetness and thickness by adding more milk or coffee as desired. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk like oat milk.
