5-Minute Pumpkin Pie Spice Latte

Method

  1. Heat milk in microwave or on stovetop until hot.
  2. Add pumpkin puree, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice to mug.
  3. Whisk until completely smooth.
  4. Pour in hot milk and stir well.
  5. Add espresso shot.
  6. Top with whipped cream and dust with cinnamon.

Microwave times are for a 1,000 W microwave, the usual US size. In an 800 W microwave (common in the UK and Europe) add about a quarter more time; at 1,200 W check a little early.
