Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • 2 shots espresso
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and cloves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly for 2–3 minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant and the sugar has fully dissolved into a thick, glossy paste.
  2. Pour hot espresso or strong brewed coffee into a mug. Stir in the vanilla extract and the warm pumpkin syrup mixture until the coffee is a uniform, creamy orange-brown color.
  3. Heat the milk until steaming but not boiling. Use a handheld frother for 30 seconds, or whisk vigorously, until the milk doubles in volume. Gently pour the frothed milk over the coffee, topping with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon.
