Ingredients
Espresso Mixture
- 2 shots espresso (2 ounces) or ⅓ cup very strong brewed coffee

- ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice (up to ½ tsp for stronger flavor)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Other Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk of choice
- Ice cubes
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, extra pumpkin pie spice for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Pour espresso shots, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla into a large glass or glass measuring cup.
- Blend for Froth: Using a milk frothing wand, blend the mixture until smooth and foamy. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a small blender or food processor and blend until frothy and combined.
- Add Milk: Pour the milk into the blended mixture and stir with a spoon or straw to combine evenly.

Notes
- To replace espresso, use ⅓ cup of very strong brewed coffee.
- Blonde espresso roast offers a mild, balanced flavor, while dark espresso roast delivers a heavier coffee taste.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice up to ½ teaspoon for stronger pumpkin spice flavor.
- Milk choice can be dairy or plant-based according to preference.
