No need to pay expensive coffee shop prices when you can make your own at home! Recipe and instructions courtesy of Culinary Adventures in the Kitchen. Ingredients:
1/3 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned) |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/4 cups water |
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon |
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon clove |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
Directions:
1. 1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally to keep syrup from burning.
2. 2. Let mixture cook together until it becomes syrupy and begins to coat the spoon (for about 10-15 minutes), then remove from heat. Strain into a heat-proof container.
3. 3. Refrigerate. The syrup will thicken a bit in the refrigerator, but will become syrupy again when heated.
4. To assemble a delicious homemade latte:.
5. 1. For a sweeter latte, heat a ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 milk to syrup in a saucepan until warm. If you’d like it less sweet, somewhere closer 4:1 milk to syrup.
6. 2. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend for 20 seconds.
7. 3. Pour yourself a cup of steaming hot coffee (leaving more room than you might normally) and top with the frothy milk.
