How to make pumpkin spice latte

Celeste says, "Pumpkin spice latte is definitely a popular October and November drink. You can either buy a flavoured pumpkin spice syrup at your supermarket or there are plenty online. But also, you can use a simple syrup or vanilla syrup too. If you want to make your own vanilla syrup, below is a quick and easy recipe and method."

Make your espresso for this coffee using Celeste’s pick of the best compostable and reusable coffee pods. We’ve also tried-and-tested the best coffee machines, including the best bean-to-cup machines, best coffee pod machines and best espresso machines.

Method

step 1

To make the simple syrup, put the water, sugar and vanilla extract in a pot and boil until the sugar is dissolved.
step 2

Use 25ml of the syrup and put it in a mug. Add espresso (approx 60ml) using an espresso machine (see above) or your preferred method.
step 3

Add the puréed pumpkin into the milk jug with the milk and steam. If you are using a milk frother you can add it to this too. Just make sure the purée is really smooth.
step 4

Pour your heated textured milk into the espresso and syrup. Dust with cinnamon or nutmeg and garnish with a cinnamon stick across your glass (for extra effect you can singe the ends with a kitchen blow torch if you have one).
