5 Coffee Recipes For The Autumn Season
Pumpkin Spice Latte
One of the most, if not the most iconic autumn beverage; pumpkin spice latte. It’s a classic, and you can’t evade it since pumpkin season begins around mid-September and lasts until November. Essentially, it is a coffee drink brewed with traditional autumn spice flavors such as cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, alongside espresso, and steamed milk.
Moreover, people tend to add sugar (or brown sugar) and whipped cream, and you must not forget the most important ingredient; pumpkin pie spice, though some often add a small amount of pumpkin mash. Many coffee companies such as Starbucks offer this specific drink, but you can easily make this with the following recipe in the comfort of your home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of non-dairy or dairy milk
- ½ cup of hot coffee
- ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tbsps of pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsps of sugar or brown sugar

Directions:
- Make pumpkin puree by splitting the pumpkin half, and place the halves cut-side-down on a baking sheet. Roast until the flesh turns soft and comes off of the skin.
- Blend the softened flesh in a food processor until smooth.
- Heat the saucepan to medium heat, then add puree, milk, and sugar/brown sugar. (Do not boil it. We are only trying to heat it until it’s hot.)
