Ingredients for the Perfect Infused Pumpkin Spice Latte

Harnessing the essence of fall and optimizing the benefits of herbal infusions, our specially curated ingredient list ensures that your homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte stands out both in flavor and health benefits. Perfect for sharing with your bestie, this beverage is a harmony of traditional autumnal spices and Herb Co.’s signature herbal blend.

Milk Base (2 cups): Opt for organic milk to maximize flavor. Dairy-free alternatives such as almond, oat, or soy milk are excellent choices for those seeking plant-based options.

Natural Pumpkin Purée (2 tbsp): Sourcing organic and pure pumpkin purée ensures that your latte gets the true essence of fall without added sugars or preservatives.

Organic Sugar (1-3 tbsp, to taste): While we recommend organic cane sugar for its subtle sweetness, you can also explore other natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey.

Pure Vanilla Extract (1 tbsp): This gives a rich depth to your latte, adding an aromatic sweetness that complements the pumpkin.

Pumpkin Spice Blend (1/2 tsp): A mixture of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Make sure it’s fresh and high-quality for the best flavor profile.

Strong Brewed Coffee or Espresso (1/2 cup): Opt for a freshly brewed, robust coffee or espresso. Using beans that are organic and shade-grown can enhance the flavor.

Herbal Infusion: Depending on your preference, use the recommended dosage. This unique blend adds a special touch to the drink, not just in flavor but also in potential wellness benefits.

Whipped Cream (optional, for garnish): A dollop of this creamy delight on top brings a comforting finish to your drink.

Garnish: A sprinkle of organic cinnamon or pumpkin spice adds a final touch of autumnal warmth.

Step-By-Step Guide

Creating a masterpiece drink that encapsulates the cozy essence of fall requires attention to detail and a touch of love. Here, we break down the process into simple steps, ensuring you achieve a harmonious blend of flavors, all while benefiting from Herb Co.’s herbal infusion. Whether you’re an experienced barista or a newbie in the kitchen, these steps are tailored to make your PSL-making experience a breeze.

1. Prime Coffee Brew: Begin by freshly brewing a robust cup of coffee or espresso. Using freshly ground beans enhances the depth and richness, setting a solid foundation for your latte.

2. Prepare the Pumpkin Mix: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat your chosen milk, organic pumpkin purée, and sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously to ensure an even mixture and prevent it from boiling over. Once it’s heated through, remove from the stove.

3. Herbal Integration: As the mixture cools slightly, whisk in the vanilla extract, aromatic pumpkin spice blend, and your chosen dosage of herb. Stir gently but thoroughly, ensuring the herbal essence permeates the entire mixture.

4. Achieve Creamy Perfection: To elevate your latte’s texture, pour the warm pumpkin mixture into a blender. Blend on a medium setting until the mixture becomes frothy and velvety. This aerating process ensures a cafe-quality texture in your homemade latte.

5. Latte Assembly: Pour your freshly brewed coffee or espresso evenly into two mugs. Gradually add the frothy pumpkin mixture, ensuring both mugs receive an even amount.

6. Final Flourish: Elevate your drink’s visual appeal and taste by garnishing with a generous dollop of whipped cream. A sprinkle of organic cinnamon or pumpkin spice on top acts as a fragrant finishing touch, inviting the first sip.

7. Sip and Savor: Allow a moment for the flavors to meld. Then, with your bestie by your side, take a sip and bask in the warmth and comfort of your crafted infused PSL.
