Instructions
  1. 1

    Cook the pumpkin sauce

    Add the canned pumpkin, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice to a small saucepan over low heat. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring here and there, until the sugar dissolves and it smells like fall. Let it cool a couple minutes, then blend until totally smooth so there's no graininess.

  1. 2

    Build the base

    Spoon 1/4 cup of the pumpkin sauce into your mug (stash the rest in the fridge for tomorrow's cup). Pour the hot espresso over it and stir until it's glossy and combined.

  2. 3

    Froth and finish

    Warm the milk, then froth it until it's light and fluffy. Pour it over the espresso mixture, letting the foam pile on top. Finish with whipped cream and a little grated nutmeg if you want the full coffee-shop feel.

Notes & Tips

This is the one that actually tastes like pumpkin, not just sugar and 'spice.' Real canned pumpkin does all the work and gives it that creamy body. The batch of sauce makes enough for about four lattes, so the first cup is the effort and the rest of the week is basically free. Want it iced? Skip the frother, use cold milk and cooled coffee over ice.
