Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- In a blender, combine the hot milk, espresso or strong brewed coffee, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.
- Pour the spice latte mixture into your favorite mug, filling it to about three-quarters full to allow room for whipped cream.
- Top generously with whipped cream, creating a fluffy cloud on top of your latte.
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick for that extra touch of warmth and aroma. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this seasonal delight!
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a shot of vanilla extract or a splash of caramel syrup.
- If you prefer a lighter version, use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk.
- For a festive twist, sprinkle additional ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the whipped cream.
