Helpful Tips for the Perfect PSL

Here are a few helpful tips to make sure your latte turns out café-worthy every time:

Choose Your Milk Wisely: Whole milk or oat milk tends to give the creamiest results, but feel free to experiment with almond, soy, or other options for different textures and flavors.
Balance the Sweetness: Adjust the vanilla syrup or add a bit of brown sugar to bring a rich sweetness that complements the pumpkin and spices.
Use Fresh Pumpkin Puree: If you’re able, try making your own pumpkin puree for the best flavor and texture, or use canned pumpkin with no added sugars or spices.

Ingredients

1 shot espresso or 1/4 cup strong coffee
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla or sugar-free vanilla syrup more or less to taste
1 tablespoon (15 ml) pumpkin puree
1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) pumpkin pie spice or allspice
1 cup (237 ml) milk steamed, frothed, or warmed
Optional: Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

Brew your espresso or strong coffee and pour it into a mug.
Add in the vanilla syrup, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice, and stir well to combine.
Warm your milk until it’s nice and steamy. You can use a milk frother if you want that barista-style foam, or simply heat it on the stove or in the microwave.
Pour the warmed milk into your mug, mixing it gently.
For a finishing touch, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, and enjoy!
