What makes the Pumpkin Spice lattes one of the quintessential fall beverages?

The combination of pumpkin and the warm spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves are the fall spice flavors that we all crave. The PSL is only available for a limited time each year. So, if you don’t rush out and grab a couple of these during the fall, you will have to wait until the next time they come back. Not anymore. So if you love those fall-favorite pumpkin pie spices, you are in luck. We will show you how to make one.

Why You Should Try Making a Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

When you make your PSL at home, you can make them any time of the year. This is on the Starbucks fall menu. There are other advantages of creating one, though, and it costs less to recreate your fancy coffee drinks at home. You can customize this any way you like: change out the type of milk, want more spice in your drink, or add some additional syrup.

What Makes This Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe So Good

Unlike other recipes that have you add the spices and syrup separately, this recipe has a spice-infused syrup, so all of the autumnal flavors are pronounced.

It has a subtle yet comforting pumpkin taste perfectly balanced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can create this yummy latte while staying comfortable at home without venturing outside. Not to mention, you can make it any time of year.

Ingredients

Here’s a list of what you need:

• Water
• Ground nutmeg
• Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon
• Fresh or ground ginger
• Sugar
• Canned pumpkin puree
• Espresso or strong coffee
• Milk
• Whipped cream

How to Make Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte

1. Combine nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and water in a medium-sized saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Strain out spices by pouring the water through a coffee filter.

4. Place the spiced simple syrup back into the pan.
5. Add sugar and pumpkin and mix well.
6. Simmer for 10 minutes.

8. Prepare espresso or strong coffee.
9. Pour a couple of tablespoons of pumpkin syrup into a coffee cup, then add coffee.
10. Gently pour frothed milk over the coffee and stir.
11. Top with whipped cream and dusting of pumpkin spice.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can substitute the milk for an alternative milk if you wish. If you have a dairy allergy, other options like almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk are excellent options.

Oat milk has a rich, silky texture, and soy milk froths up quite nicely. Almond milk is slightly trickier but works with high-fat content.

Espresso Tips for This Pumpkin Latte Recipe

Espresso is stronger than drip coffee because the water is steamed through the coffee, so using regular coffee won’t give you the same result, if you use an espresso machine. In general, espresso has more caffeine.

How much caffeine is in a pumpkin spice latte depends on how big of a latte you make or buy. At Starbucks, a tall Pumpkin Spice Latte has 75 mg of caffeine, whereas a grande size has 150 mg.

Luckily, if you don’t have an espresso maker, you can use instant espresso. Regarding instant espresso, I prefer the brand Medaglia D’Oro Instant Espresso Coffee for its quality and flavor.

If you want to make espresso like Italians, you can benefit from using a Bialetti Moka Express 3 Cup Espresso Maker. This appliance type is how Italians make authentic espresso in the comfort of their homes, and the product is only about 30 dollars.

How to Froth Milk for a Latte

You can easily froth warm milk in a jar with a lid on it, in a mixer, or in a blender. If you don’t have any of those, you can froth your milk with a whisk.

I would suggest that you use whatever milk you enjoy the most. You can use half and half, whole milk, 2%, or even skim milk. You can heat milk for about 1 minute in the microwave before frothing it.

What to Serve with The Pumpkin Spice Latte

For this delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte, Starbucks Petite Vanilla Scones are an excellent pairing, especially if you love a pastry with their coffee. The vanilla sweet treat enhances the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in the latte.
