Instructions
Brew 2 shots of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee and set it aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice.
Whisk the mixture continuously for 3-4 minutes until it is well combined and heated through. Do not let it boil.
Remove the milk mixture from heat and use a frother or whisk to create foam (optional, but adds a creamy texture).
