How to Make a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Home
As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, there’s nothing better than a warm, comforting drink to enjoy at home. Enter the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) – a seasonal favourite that combines rich espresso, creamy milk, and the perfect blend of autumnal spices. With Bró Coffee and a splash of your favourite pumpkin spice syrup, it’s easier than ever to recreate this café-style treat in your own kitchen.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Espresso: 1–2 shots of your favourite Bró Coffee blend, freshly brewed.
Milk: 150ml (dairy or alternative milk, depending on preference).
Pumpkin Spice Syrup: 20ml of Pumpkin Spice syrup.
Optional Toppings: Whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, or even a drizzle of caramel.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Brew Your Espresso - Start by brewing a shot (or two) of Bró Coffee espresso. Choose your preferred blend – Bro House gives a rich, full-bodied flavour, while Go Bró works beautifully in both hot and iced versions.
Steam and Froth Your Milk - Pour 150ml of milk into a saucepan or use a milk frother. Heat gently until steaming, then froth to your desired texture. For a richer latte, try using whole milk or oat milk for creaminess.
Mix the Pumpkin Spice Syrup - Pour 20ml of your Pumpkin Spice syrup into your favourite mug. Adjust the quantity to taste – some like a stronger spice flavour, others prefer a subtler hint.
Combine Espresso and Milk - Pour your brewed Bró Coffee espresso over the syrup, then top with the steamed milk. Stir gently to combine, creating a smooth, autumn-inspired latte.
Add Toppings - Finish your PSL with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. For a decadent twist, drizzle a little caramel over the top.
Tips for the Perfect Homemade PSL
Fresh Beans Make a Difference: Grinding your Bró Coffee beans just before brewing ensures maximum flavour.
Experiment with Milk Alternatives: Almond, oat, or soy milk all froth differently, giving unique textures and flavours.
Adjust the Syrup: Depending on how sweet or spiced you like your latte, tweak the Pumpkin Spice syrup to taste.
