How to make a pumpkin latte with homemade ingredients
- Combine all ingredients into a sauce pan, stir together until smooth. Heat up the puree mixture (so it doesn’t make the latte cold).
- Place the puree in a cup, add a shot of espresso; stir together until smooth.
- Steam whole milk (or microwave, or heat on the stove) and pour over espresso and pumpkin mixture.
- Gently mix together until dissolved. The milk will be a warm caramel color.

We are an espresso family, using the best coffee beans (Storyville Coffee, delivered to our house each week), and we love our Jura espresso machine. It’s a “machine,” for sure, as in it pumps out lots of espresso on a daily basis! LOL
This recipe, full of love, is perfect for pumpkin season!
Froth up the milk, if you can. If not, heat on the stove (or microwave).
If you normally buy these at Starbucks, make your own and save a bunch of money! So good, if you’re craving a Pumpkin Latte!
ENJOY!

how do I prepare this with regular coffee since I don’t have an espresso machine or drink espresso at home?
The coffee flavor wouldn’t be as strong with regular coffee, but you can try it :)
Thanks for your lovely, honest post. I shudder to think where I’d be without the grace so freely given to me by my family after I’ve had a “mom moment” – already cashed one in this morning! A work in progress, indeed. And now we know – Authentic grace goes best with Abby’s REAL Pumpkin! Makes perfect, yummy sense! Will be enjoying this one soon…& often!
Yes, and thank you for sharing, Sara. We’ve all had those “mom moments” … sigh.
oh my! I love Pumpkin Spice. I am going to try this, I think I’ll try it with chai tea since my fave fall drink is a PS Chai!
It’s okay to lose it- I’ve already done so this morning when my kiddo was still not out of bed at 6:35 and has to catch 7am bus!!! XO These look fab.
