Preparation
  1. Brew the espresso using your preferred method until it's rich and flavorful.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Stir for 2-3 minutes until blended and fragrant.
  3. Gradually add your milk to the pumpkin mixture, stirring constantly, and heat until warmed through.
  4. If desired, froth the milk mixture until light and airy.

Notes

Consider using maple syrup instead of sugar for a natural sweetness. Avoid overheating milk to maintain creaminess. Multiply ingredients for larger batches while keeping ratios consistent.
