Our DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe: A Western Twist

Our DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe: A Western Twist

When fall arrives it comes with the craving for all things pumpkin spice! Here at Lammle's Western Wear, we believe there's no better way to warm up after a brisk horseback ride or a day spent on the ranch than with a cozy, homemade pumpkin spice latte. But why settle for store-bought when you can whip up a batch yourself, right in your kitchen? In this blog, we teach you how!

Our DIY pumpkin spice recipe is easy to make, uses simple ingredients, and packs a whole lot of flavor—perfect for those crisp fall days when you’re out and about or just relaxing by the fire. So saddle up and let’s get to brewing!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of milk (any kind you prefer; we recommend whole milk for a creamier taste but milk alternatives work too.)
• 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
• 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 cup of strong coffee or 2 shots of espresso
• Whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended)

Instructions:

1. Warm Up the Milk: Pour the milk into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the pumpkin puree and sugar, and cook until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Whisk vigorously until the milk begins to froth. If you’re feeling extra fancy, use a milk frother to get that perfect foam!

2. Add Some Flavour: Stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice. This is where the magic happens! The vanilla adds a touch of sweetness, while the pumpkin pie spice brings in that warm, comforting flavour we all know and love.

3. Brew Your Coffee: While your milk is heating up, brew your coffee or espresso. We recommend a strong brew to balance out the creamy sweetness of the pumpkin spice mixture.

4. Mix It All Together: Pour the hot coffee into your favourite mug or one of our trusty tumblers. Slowly add the pumpkin spice milk mixture, stirring gently to combine.

5. Top It Off: If you’re feeling indulgent, top your pumpkin spice latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It’s the perfect way to add a little extra something special.

6. Enjoy: Take a moment to enjoy the rich, creamy flavours of your homemade pumpkin spice latte. Whether you’re sitting by the campfire or enjoying a sunrise on the ranch, this warm treat is sure to become your go-to fall favourite!
