Instructions
If you're using fresh pumpkin, peel, cube, and cook the pumpkin in a pot with a little water and a cinnamon stick. After 25-30 minutes, mash or blend the pumpkin into a smooth puree.
Brew a cup of your preferred coffee. You can use espresso, filtered coffee, or even a decaf option.
In a saucepan, heat the pumpkin puree with the milk, pumpkin spice mix, and sweetener. Stir well and allow it to warm over low heat, being careful not to boil it.
While the pumpkin and milk mixture is warming, froth the remaining milk with a milk frother or by shaking it in a jar. This step is optional but will give your PSL a nice creamy top.
In a mug, pour the brewed coffee, then add the pumpkin-spice mixture. Top it with frothed milk and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Notes
If you prefer your drink sweeter, add more sweetener. Start with a small amount and adjust to your taste.
You can replace regular milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
Mix cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in bulk and store it in a jar for future use.
