- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, homemade or store-bought
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole milk, or milk of choice
Toppings
- 1/4 cup whipped cream

Instructions
- 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.
