Ingredients

Pumpkin Spice

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2tsp ground allspice


Pumpkin Syrup

1½ cups water

1½ cups sugar

1 recipe Homemade Pumpkin Spice (see note above)

¼ cup pumpkin puree

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract


Pumpkin Spiced Latte

½ cup whole milk

¾ cup hot coffee

2 tablespoons Pumpkin Syrup

Whipped cream (optional)

Directions

1. FOR PUMPKIN SPICE: Combine all ingredients in small bowl.

2. FOR PUMPKIN SYRUP: Bring water and sugar to boil in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in pumpkin spice and puree, reduce heat to low, and gently simmer for 20 minutes until flavors meld and syrup thickens slightly.

3. Using fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth, strain mixture into medium bowl, squeezing cheesecloth to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids and stir in vanilla extract. (Pumpkin syrup can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.)

4. FOR PUMPKIN SPICED LATTE: Microwave milk in 1-cup measuring cup until milk reaches approximately 140 degrees, about 1 minute. Whisk constantly until milk froths and doubles in size, about 2 minutes.

5. Combine coffee and pumpkin syrup together in coffee mug, then pour in frothed milk. Top with whipped cream, if using. Serve.
