ingredient
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups water
- 6 cinnamon sticks
- ¼ cup canned pumpkin purée
- 2 teaspoons nutmeg, ground
- 1 teaspoon teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup milk, dairy or plant-based
- 1 shot espresso, 0.75 to 1 ounce
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin spice sauce
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream, optional

Directions
- Make the Simple Sauce – In a medium saucepan add the granulated sugar and water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heating, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
- Infuse the Spices – Add the cinnamon sticks, pumpkin puree, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the syrup is fragrant, about 20 minutes. Do not let the mixture bubble, gently infuse the spices into the syrup.
- Strain – Pour the syrup through a cheesecloth-lined sieve or fine-meshed strainer. Lightly press the mixture through to extract the spice flavor.
- Using and Storing – Use pumpkin spice sauce in the latte as directed. For the leftover syrup, cool to room temperature. Transfer to a glass container, cover, and refrigerate.

- Heat the Milk – Warm the milk over medium-low heat on the stovetop until hot, between 140 to 145ºF (60 to 63ºC). Alternatively, microwave in 15-second intervals until the desired temperature is reached. Use a frother if desired to make foam.
- Make the Latte – Add the pumpkin spice sauce to a 10 to 12-ounce coffee cup. Add less or more depening on desired sweetness. Add the espresso and add to the cup, stir to combine. Add the hot milk and foam is desired.
- Make the Whipped Cream (Optional) – In a medium bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream until medium peaks form. Add on top of the latte.
- To Serve – Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice on top of the latte. Enjoy!
