1shotespresso OR 1/4 cup strongly brewed coffeeor omit for a caffeine-free PSL
For topping: whipped cream or coconut whipped cream
Instructions
Add pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to a small saucepan over medium high heat. Stir with a spatula until very fragrant and bubbly, 30 seconds - 1 minute, then add sugar and stir until smooth and bubbly, another 30 seconds. Whisk in milk then add vanilla and stir until drink is hot, 2-3 minutes.
Brew espresso or coffee into a mug (or omit for caffeine-free) then strain milk mixture into the mug and serve with optional whipped topping. The straining step is optional but it catches any larger pieces of pumpkin and any chalky spices — I don't recommend you skip it.
