Creating your very own Pumpkin Spice Latte With Syrup is straightforward. Follow these steps:

Make the Pumpkin Spice Syrup:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, mix the water, sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice.
2. Heat: Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
4. Add Vanilla: Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Cool: Let the syrup cool before transferring it to a jar or container. Store in the refrigerator.

Assemble the Latte:

6. Brew Coffee: Brew a cup of espresso or strong coffee.
7. Heat Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
8. Froth Milk: Use a milk frother to create a foamy texture. (You can also whisk vigorously.)
9. Combine: In a large mug, combine the brewed coffee with 2 tablespoons of pumpkin spice syrup.
10. Add Milk: Pour the steamed milk over the coffee mixture and gently stir.
11. Top: If desired, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
