Pumpkin Spice Latte

• Brew your coffee and set aside.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, stir the pumpkin, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice until combined. Slowly whisk in almond milk. Bring mixture to a low simmer, stirring occasionally and remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract.
• Transfer milk mixture to a blender and pulse several times until foamy and frothy. (You can also use a hand-held immersion blender instead.)
• Add milk mixture to your hot coffee. You may want to use a spoon to gently hold back the frothy top layer while pouring. Top your latte with this remaining froth.
• Top with a dollop of homemade organic whipped cream or coconut whipped cream (optional) and sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice.

Notes

Milk alternative- Substitute with Coconut milk.

No blender- Whisk vigorously by hand when the milk mixture starts to simmer on the stove but know that this will not create the same froth as a blender or immersion blender but still tasty!

Pumpkin lover- Add an extra 1 tbsp of pureed pumpkin per serving.

Caffeine free- Replace coffee with additional almond milk.
