Serves 3 

2 tablespoons pumpkin puree 

2 tablespoons maple syrup 

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 

1-1/2 cups milk 

1 tablespoon vanilla extract 

2 cups strong-brewed coffee warm 

OPTIONAL 

Whipped cream for garnish (and just because who doesn't love whipped cream on their latte?)

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring pumpkin, syrup, and spice to a low simmer. Slowly whisk in milk and vanilla. Bring mixture to a low simmer then remove from heat.

Transfer milk mixture to a blender or food processor. Pulse several times until mixture is foamy and frothy. 

Divide hot coffee between 3 coffee cups. Pour hot milk mixture over coffee in each cup. Pipe whipped cream on top of hot coffee and drizzle with caramel sauce. Serve immediately
