Ingredients
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup

- 1 cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup pure pumpkin purée
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
Pumpkin Spice Latte (Hot or Iced)
- 2 shots espresso (chilled if making iced)

Instructions
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup
- Add all ingredients in a pot on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a slight simmer and keep an eye on the mixture, mixing lightly as the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly, your simple syrup is done! Allow to cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Brew and chill espresso.
- Fill your favorite glass with ice, then pour in your desired amount of pumpkin spice syrup.
- Next, froth together the milk and creamer using a milk frother. You can skip this step if you don't have one!
- Pour in the frothed milk and creamer then pour in the chilled espresso.
- Dust pumpkin spice or cinnamon over top (if desired), then mix together and enjoy!
Hot Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Add desired amount of pumpkin spice syrup to the bottom of your favorite mug.
- Brew your espresso, then pour into the mug.
- Next, froth together the milk and creamer using a milk frother on the hot setting. If using a handheld frother, warm the milk and creamer in the microwave for 30 seconds before frothing.
- Pour in the frothed milk and creamer into the mug, dust pumpkin spice or cinnamon over top (if desired) and enjoy!
