Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe from Coffee-Direct.co.uk

Makes 3 Servings

Ingredients:

• 750ml whole milk, hot but not boiling
• 4 teaspoons caster sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon allspice
• 180ml freshly brewed strong coffee
• Whipped cream

Method:

1. First, create a pumpkin spice mix by combining the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice in a small bowl. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

2. Add the hot milk, caster sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the pumpkin spice to a blender, and mix until frothy.

3. Divide the liquid between three coffee mugs, leaving enough space to add a good amount of whipped cream later.

4. Add 60ml of freshly brewed, strong coffee to the mugs.

5. Add that layer of whipped cream, and finish with a sprinkling of the remaining pumpkin spice mix. Enjoy!
