Ingredients
Method
- Prepare Coffee: In a small mixing bowl or heat-proof jug, add coffee powder. Pour boiling water over it and mix with a spoon until the coffee has dissolved. Set aside.
- Mix Flavorings: In a separate small mixing bowl, combine maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan, pour in the milk. Add the pumpkin pie spice mixture and the prepared espresso.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat gently while occasionally whisking until steam begins to come off the surface of the milk, about 3-4 minutes. Do not allow it to boil or simmer.
- Serve: Remove the mixture from heat. Pour into mugs and top each with whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!
