Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 shots espresso
- 235 ml milk
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Add 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to a serving mug. Stir until smooth.
- Brew 2 shots espresso, pour them into the mug, and stir until fully combined.

- Pour the hot milk into the mug and stir gently.

Notes
Mix until smooth: Stir the pumpkin base thoroughly so the spice does not form clumps or collect at the bottom.
Heat the milk gently: Stop heating when the milk is hot and steaming to avoid a scorched flavor.
Adjust before topping: Taste after adding the milk, then adjust the sugar or pumpkin spice in small amounts.
