Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe - So Easy!

Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe - So Easy!

By Steve Rosemergy @SteffenMarkkus Specialty Roasters

The holidays are here and so are Pumpkin Spice Lattes (PSL).  It turns out that they are really easy to make.  Best of all, making it at home allow you to dial-in the sweetness to your own personal taste. 

Pumpkin Spice Ingredients

Now here’s the surprise – there’s actually no pumpkin in a PSL – hence the name.  All you need is coffee, your choice of milk, along with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.  The amounts you’ll need are as follows:

Coffee (espresso):  1.25 oz or 36 ml

Milk (your choice of type):  5 oz or 150ml

Sugar:  ½ teaspoon (or sweetener)

Spices (Ground):

Cinnamon:  ¼ teaspoon

Nutmeg:  1/8 teaspoon

Ginger:  1/8 teaspoon

 

Steps:

  1. Brew and pour 1 ¼ - 2 ounces of espresso or coffee into your cup.

2.  Mix the spices and sugar together and place them into the bottom of your milk steaming carafe or pot (if you using the stovetop).

3.  Add Milk and steam to 70 degrees C or just under 160 degrees F. 

Adding Cold Milk to Spices

If you don’t have a milk steamer, the stove-top will do – just use a whisk to stir the milk and spices together as you heat it.  Heat to a temperature that is hot, but not boiling (boiled milk tastes terrible).

Adjust the amount of sugar/sweetener to taste; and, if you’re feeling a little naughty, add some whipped cream!
