Spiked Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin
- ½ tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- ¾ cup milk
- Shot of Grand Marnier
- Shot of hot coffee (as strong as you like it)
- Garnish (optional) whipped cream, cinnamon stick, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
Instructions
- Heat the pumpkin, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat for a few minutes. Continue heating until the pumpkin is hot and fragrant.
- Slowly whisk in the vanilla and continue whisking until the ingredients are well combined.
- Next, slowly whisk in the milk.
- Continue to simmer the milk until it's hot and steamy, but be careful, if the heats to high it will foam up and make a mess. Once the milk is hot and steamy vigorously whisk it until it's frothy. You can use a blender if you can't get the mixture frothy enough for your liking.
- Pour a shot of coffee and Grand Marnier into a coffee cup. Top with the milk mixture until the glass is full. Stir.
- Finally garnish (optional) with whipped cream, a cinnamon stick, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
