Pumpkin Spice Latte Perfection: A Recipe to Rival the Coffee Shops
Elevate Your Brunch Game
Imagine sipping on a rich, velvety pumpkin spice latte, infused with the warmth of rum and topped with a fluffy cloud of brown-sugar whipped cream. Sounds like a coffee shop dream come true, right? But what if you could recreate this autumnal delight in the comfort of your own home?
The Secret Ingredient: Homemade Pumpkin Spice Liqueur
To take your PSL to the next level, you’ll need to plan ahead and whip up a batch of Homemade Pumpkin Spice Liqueur. This game-changing ingredient adds an unparalleled depth of flavor and aroma to your latte.
The Recipe: A Simple yet Sophisticated Blend
Combine 5 ounces of hot brewed coffee, 2 ounces of your freshly made liqueur, and a dollop of brown-sugar whipped cream in each of 4 heatproof glasses or mugs. Stir gently to combine, then grate a pinch of whole nutmeg over the cream.
Whipped Cream Wizardry
To create the perfect whipped cream, chill a medium bowl and hand whisk in the freezer for 10 minutes. Then, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1 1/2 teaspoons of packed dark brown sugar to the bowl. Whisk until medium peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Serve with a Side of Spiced Pumpkin-Pecan Pancakes
To reach pumpkin brunch critical mass, serve your lattes alongside a stack of Spiced Pumpkin-Pecan Pancakes. This indulgent combination is sure to impress your friends and family.
A Classic Alternative
If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, don’t worry! You can easily substitute the liqueur with a Homemade DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe.
