Preparation
Chef’s notes
Large-batch pumpkin spice syrup recipe (6 servings):
Combine 1/3 cup pumpkin purée, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice and 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt in a jar and whisk until evenly combined. Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week. You will need 2 scant tablespoons of the syrup mixture per latte. Combine with the pumpkin spice syrup with the milk and espresso as directed above.
Espresso/coffee:
Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte that is similarly sized (a 12-ounce “tall”) typically contains just 1 shot of espresso. I prefer two to really bring out the coffee flavor, but feel free to use however much espresso (or very strongly-brewed coffee) that you prefer.
Sweetener:
Feel free to use any other sweetener that you prefer in place of maple syrup, adding more or less if needed to taste.
