PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE!

1. Combine the espresso (or strong coffee) with the pumpkin puree and maple syrup, stirring until the pumpkin is completely dissolved.
2. Combine the milk and the pumpkin pie spice. Heat the milk and then froth the milk (you can use a milk frother, whisk, or shake in a covered jar as described below).
3. To serve, pour the spiced milk into the center of the espresso, ending with light foam (use half the steamed or frothed milk for 1 drink). If desired, garnish with extra pumpkin spices.

To froth milk in a jar in 30 seconds:

1. Simply pour milk and pumpkin spice into a jar, close the lid, and shake until the milk froths up (ensure the milk only goes 1/2 up the jar). Next, remove the lid and microwave the jar for 30 seconds or until hot.

Notes:

• If making 2 drinks, froth 1 cup of milk all at once.

• Garnish with star anise if desired for an extra touch.
