Instructions

Prepare the Pumpkin Spice Syrup:
In a small saucepan, combine 600 grams of white sugar and 500 ml of cold water. Heat over low flame, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves.
Add the Spices and Pumpkin:
Once the sugar has melted, add 2 cinnamon sticks, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon powder, ¼ teaspoon of ginger powder, ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg, and 4 tablespoons of mashed pumpkin. Continue stirring the mixture for about 5 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Cool and Store the Syrup:
Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Pour the mixture into a hermetically sealed glass jar and refrigerate until ready to use, or use it immediately for your latte.
Heat the Milk:
In a separate saucepan, heat 600 ml of full milk over medium heat until it is just about to reach boiling point. Be careful not to let it boil.
Assemble the Latte:
Pour 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin spice syrup into each large cup. Next, add 150 ml of hot brewed coffee into the cup.
Blend and Froth:
Add the hot milk to the mixture and use an immersion blender to blend the latte until it becomes frothy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can whisk vigorously to create froth.
Top and Serve:
For an extra indulgent touch, add a swirl of whipped cream on top of the latte. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the whipped cream for a finishing touch. Serve your homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte immediately and enjoy!
