1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon and nutmeg)
cinnamon - for dusting
In a small saucepan, combine the pumpkin, half and half, vanilla, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Over medium heat (just below a boil), stir this mixture until well combined. Just before you're about to serve, whisk the mixture vigorously so it becomes frothy.
Pour the espresso into a serving mug and top it with the frothy milk mixture. Dust the top with cinnamon to garnish.
This is my version of Starbucks' seasonal latte. It's not quite as great, but it's close. Instead of espresso, you could use 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee. The pumpkin can be omitted and the latte is still very good.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank The Boss for this recipe.
