- 2 shots of espresso
- ½ cup of ice cubes
- ½ cup of your preferred milk
- 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie blend
- 1 tablespoon of pumpkin purée
- ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of whipped cream
Step 1: Brew the Espresso
Start by brewing your two shots of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a strong coffee brewed in a French press or AeroPress can work as a substitute. The key is to make it robust, so the flavor shines through.
Step 2: Prepare the Pumpkin Blend
While your coffee is brewing, take a small bowl and mix together the pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie blend, and vanilla extract. This will create a delightful spice mixture that captures the essence of pumpkin coffee.
Step 3: Mix the Ingredients
Once your espresso is ready, grab a glass and add in the ice cubes. Pour the hot espresso over the ice, allowing it to chill slightly while you mix the other ingredients together. In a separate shaker, combine the milk and maple syrup.
Step 4: Combine Everything
Add your prepared pumpkin blend into the glass with espresso and ice. Gently stir everything to combine the flavors. Then, slowly pour in the milk mixture, watching as it swirls and mingles with the espresso.
- Espresso: Using espresso gives a strong foundation to the drink. If you aren’t an espresso drinker, strong brew coffee can suffice, but the flavor won’t be as intense.
- Milk: The type of milk you choose affects the creaminess. Almond milk will give a nutty flavor, while oat milk offers a smooth texture.
- Maple Syrup: This is a natural sweetener that infuses a bit of warmth and richness to the coffee without overwhelming it.
- Pumpkin Purée: This adds both flavor and texture to your drink, making each sip comforting. Make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin, not the pumpkin pie filling.
- Pumpkin Pie Blend: This spice mix typically contains cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove. It creates that quintessential fall aroma.
- Whipped Cream: This is optional, but it elevates the drink and gives it a coffee-shop vibe at home.
