Sip #1: The Classic Pumpkin Spice Latte (With a Twist!)

There’s something about the first sip of pumpkin spice that makes fall feel official. The air is crisper, the leaves crunch underfoot, and suddenly, a warm mug becomes the coziest accessory of the season.

The Pumpkin Spice Latte has become a fall icon for good reason: it blends the comforting sweetness of pumpkin with the warmth of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla. But when you make it at home — with quality coffee and your own twist — it becomes something even more special.

✨ Why Make It at Home?

• Control the sweetness → Skip the overly sugary syrups.

• Use quality coffee → The flavour shines through.

• Add your own twist → Make it yours with a drizzle, a sprinkle, or a swirl.

☕ Pumpkin Spice Latte (with a Twist!)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup freshly brewed coffee (or 1–2 shots espresso)

• 2 tbsp pumpkin purée

• 1 tbsp maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)

• ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves)

• 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)

• Whipped cream (optional, but highly encouraged)

• Drizzle of salted caramel or sprinkle of cocoa (your twist)

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan, warm the milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice together until hot but not boiling.

2. Whisk or froth until smooth and slightly foamy.

3. Pour freshly brewed coffee into your favorite mug.

4. Top with the pumpkin-spiced milk mixture.

5. Add whipped cream, then finish with your twist: a drizzle of salted caramel, a dusting of cocoa, or even a cinnamon stick for stirring.

🍂 Cozy Tip:

Pair your latte with a soft blanket, a good book, or a fall playlist for the ultimate seasonal ritual.
