How To Make A Pumpkin Spice Latte CORRECTLY

[@KarlD1210]

Tip! When straining the syrup, what i do is keeping the thick mixture of spices and pumpkin and using it as an extra flavour concentrate for, for example, cupcakes!

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

Excellent idea!

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

I use them for ice cream

[@saldiamond]

I put mine on toast! Using for baking is a great idea too :)

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

@@saldiamond ooh that sounds delish.

​@@morgandrinkscoffee omg a gay is making coffee...😅😅😅😅

[@wasgehtabmv]

I always use a baby food jar of pumpkin. Here in germany it is one of the safest foods, it is 98% pumkin and 2% water and it is already puree and just enough for 500ml sirup ;)

[@Scriptadiaboly]

Actually great idea! Herber or what?

i made this, with the pumpkin, and not only does this taste fantastic, but made the kitchen smell amazing.

[@matthieuchalifour5983]

I feel like a bit of a pariah here but I really like the pumpkin flavor in a pumpkin latté. I think it works much better with oat milk than cow but either way it's a flavor I look forward to.

[@niyamitchell6818]

I insist on pumpkin flavor, I prefer pumpkin caramel to pumpkin spice. It’s my favorite time of year 😋

[@annbrookens945]

I like that you've used pumpkin, not just the spices! I often wonder on menus what the drinks contain.

[@Angst-traum]

The Starbucks version looks like a barrel of industrial waste. Just tasted like chemicals to me.

[@patricklippert8345]

Starbucks used to not include pumpkin and it only had the spices and maybe evaporated or condensed milk for creaminess. They added a little pumpkin puree later when enough people complained

[@bonnigans8014]

Pumpkin spice refers to the combination of spices that traditionally go into pumpkin pie, not the actual pumpkin pie. Thus not requiring the actual addition of pumpkin.

[@glowworm4436]

Same! I don’t want just spices in my PSL…that’s just…a fall spiced latte. It’s gotta have the PUMPKIN

[@alicesmith4639]

Ok just fyi a bit of vanilla powder is a nice addition as well! I dry and powder my beans when I’m done making extract - some have soaked in bourbon and it’s a really nice touch.

[@nikkireigns]

I need to try this! Do you dehydrate in a machine or air dry?

[@alicesmith4639]

@@nikkireigns I use my oven - set the temp to about 170 and let it go for an hour and a half. I don’t have a dehydrator but those would do the job also!

I make my own PSL syrup and yes it has pumpkin and pumpkin spice in it. It’s amazing to add to Oregon Chai or espresso with almond or coconut milk as well.

[@kirstendegarnham4497]

I look forward to PSL season every year!! When I was living in my parents place (currently flatting with others) I would roast my own pumpkin to use in my syrups. It was such a fun process and the house smelled amazing!! Looking forward to being able to do that again!

[@mothmansuperfan7513]

Thank you for the yearly PSL PSA

[@KerriB]

I like pumpkin spice in my cold brew, which I prefer over a latte, but PSLs are pretty good. Every once in awhile, they just hit the spot ☕

[@NiGHTSaturn]

Thank you Morgan. I actually went to get groceries yesterday to create my own version of a PSL for friends coming over for breakfast tomorrow. And unfortunately in Canada, we don’t usually have the all so special sugars and the spices coming from specific places, especially in rural areas. This video came at the perfect time.

[@wheresnika]

Hey Morgan, I made this syrup on Wednesday and took it to the office - huge success; everyone loved it and asked how it's made 😊 I tried a few recipes; this is my favorite flavor - I think it's the generous allspice and black pepper addition. I'm team no-pumpkin, tho. I toasted and ground spices except for cinnamon. I used powdered stuff because it's what I had on hand.

[@asyuki193]

In Türkiye, we have a pumpkin dessert that is served with tahini and walnuts, pumpkin is chopped in big chunks and covered with sugar until it releases water, then cooked over stove till it is soft then in oven to give it more caramelization. There is usually syrup/sherbet left after serving the pumpkin and it substitutes as a perfect pumpkin spice latte base.

[@nikkireigns]

That sounds incredible ❤

[@kst6959]

This sounds amazing! Point me to a recipe!

[@CaptainLancerCoffee]

Pumpkin spice lattes are like standalone Star Wars movies to me- I want to love them wholeheartedly but some leave me with confused feelings😅. I love the spice aspect but so many “chain” lattes are way too sweet for my taste, I always go quarter sweet at most. All this said, this one sounds divine and I want one!

[@Kipsyz]

Starbucks pumpkin spice is way too overpowering, can't taste any coffee, might try a home one

[@mandimoo87]

You could ask for extra espresso or less pumps of syrup

[@ZaxorVonSkyler]

Or get a straight coffee with a pump of pumpkin spice in it.

[@asteria4279]

Agreed - it's basically 1/3 syrup! I ask for 1/2 sweet, but even that is an occasional drink.

[@theoriginalaceofspades7829]

No it isn't.

[@seofra8252]

That's why most coffee shops allow for adjustments.

[@jerrikararebuddah]

I tried the recipe Sunday morning, and it was extremely yummy. Not too overpowering just right. The only thing is that I needed to use coffee beans that didn’t overpower the taste of the syrup.

[@Sam_u_L]

Just made this…absolutely fire syrup. 👊🏻

[@halem6580]

I'm plotting how I could turn the syrup recipe into a homemade coffee creamer because I'm much more likely to use that in my everyday coffee. My current theory is to use all the syrup ingredients except the water to flavor an unsweetened creamer base, which would be equal parts evaporated milk and the regular 2% I have in my fridge (if that's not creamy enough, I'll swap in half and half for the 2% on the second try). Ok, off to the grocery store for pumpkin and I'll update with results.

[@nikkireigns]

Waiting for the update…😊

[@halem6580]

@@nikkireignsI’ll just tag you then! I lied about going to the grocery store immediately, but it worked pretty well! I used all of the syrup ingredients except the water plus 1 can of evaporated milk (NOT condensed, since I added brown sugar like the syrup has) and an equal amount of half and half. I simmered everything together for a couple of minutes, basically just following the syrup instructions, and then strained all the solids out. This is the only step I’ll change if I do it again: instead of simmering everything, I would just bring it to a boil then take it off the heat and let it steep for 5-10 minutes. I think the simmering condensed everything a little too much because the final product is a bit thicker then I actually want my creamer to be.

[@pattypro5]

My favorite season! However, for me, pumpkin season is actually the whole year. ;) Your recipe is almost identical to the one I've been using for the past four years. Instead of straining the syrup, I use my immersion blender directly in the saucepan; less clean up, and I don't mind if there's a little texture. :) Well done, Morgan!

[@sew_i_did5257]

I just made this recipe sans the pumpkin. My proportions were: 200 g brown sugar 100 mls water 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon cardamom 1/4 teaspoon each ginger, allspice, and black pepper I brought everything to a boil and whisked vigorously til the syrup reached 100 degrees C on a candy thermometer. It's virtually identical to Starbucks chai latte concentrate, which I can't have anymore because it has too much caffeine and I am allergic to some of the filler ingredients. I was very pleasantly surprised by this discovery! It's not nearly as sweet either, when used in coffee amounts. Big win for my tastebuds!

Sugarologie has some great syrup based buttercream frostings, I might try and see if I can swap this in instead!

[@gennyjon913]

Made this with half the sugar to start and adjusted to taste. Accidentally doubled the pepper which gave it a nice warm kick. I was too lazy to strain so I had some tasty spices at the bottom of my cup (might strain next time to bake with the solids per comments in this thread). 😋 Will be enjoying a few PSL’s this Canadian Thanksgiving weekend! Great recipe, Morgan! 🙏

[@ashtondb]

This looks so good! 🎃 ☕️ 🧡

[@shayelea]

So…without the inclusion of actual pumpkin (which is my preference)…a pumpkin spice latte is basically masala coffee instead of masala chai?? Because I swear those are the exact spices I use to make chai at home 😂

[@Charky_Creations]

pretty much. there is debate over whether either should contain cardamom, vanilla, ginger, nutmeg etc, because they're both just a mix of spices people prefer for their pumpkin or chai respectively... but at their heart they're both wintery cinnamon-based spice mixes and largely interchangeable.

[@jleej8301]

This is awesome! I'll definitely have to try this! I'm still trying to find an espresso machine that is decent quality yet cheap (I'm a college student 😅), but this is such a great idea. Even adding in the actual pumpkin makes it sound really good rn 🤤. Also, would love to see maybe an eggnog late video come winter 😏

[@Hiddenstickersiniowa]

Hey Morgan I've been seeing your vids and I was wondering if you wanted to try a recipe I made 1st you need a hot chocolate named Abuelita only 1 triangle grind it and add 3 thin pieces of butter and a bit of water and a spoonful of dark roast instant coffee microwave all of it together then mix it then add the whites of 1 egg the 3 spoon full of sugar and then vanilla powder also add vanilla extract then add just a bit of cinnamon powder and put it in the freezer for 7 mins BUT DO NOT LET IT FREEZE after that just add it to your coffee😊🎉

Your hair looks especially amazing in this video! What are your tips for styling it? I miss having my hair short like that and am thinking about chopping it off in the spring. My biggest difficulty with it was styling the front bit. I've been wanting to save money by making my own syrup at home. I'd switch out the espresso for black tea since I'm a big fan of chai. I love that the pumpkin spice syrup isn't too far removed from a masala chai recipe!

[@pingu99991]

So I've found out that you can just add a pinch of pumpkin spice to the ground coffee just before using the needles to de-clump the puck (the needles help mix it in). It's really useful to help dial in how much spice you want VS how much sweetness. If you just want a seasonal shot of espresso with no sugar then that's possible! 😅

I find it annoying when you get something that claims to be “pumpkin spice” and there is no pumpkin.

[@Frostbiker]

My understanding is that the name comes from having the same spices as pumpkin pie. Pumpkin itself has a pretty mild flavor.

[@SassySP]

I don't understand this comment. Pumpkin spice is literally a spice blend of ginger, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and sometimes allspice. Hence the name pumpkin spice. It's delicious sprinkled on top of a latte. Having the actual pumpkin puree is a totally separate issue, also delicious, but the term pumpkin spice should only refer to the actual spices.

[@Goosefang]

@@SassySP then they should call it “pumpkin spices” which more accurately indicates it is the spices and not the pumpkin

[@Charky_Creations]

it is a "pumpkin spice" latte, named for the "pumpkin spice" mix of spices, not a "spiced pumpkin" latte. Word order and type are important and provide context that you can use to understand what is being described.

[@SassySP]

@@Goosefang I don't understand what you're saying, if you go to the grocery store in the seasoning section, there is a season literally called "Pumpkin Spice" which is a blend of the spices. That's what "Pumpkin Spice" anything is referring to. It's a very typical American spice that dates back to 1800s. Calling at a 'pumpkin spices' latte is not grammatically correct.

[@locustsun]

IMO there is a non-insignificant factor in these "cofftails" that (when compared to cocktails and mocktails) of the experience and getting in the head of the drinker...a little. Sometimes, you can get the nostalgia factor, the new/fresh factor, the comfort factor. I think when we make new drinks, we need to look at the feeling you get from the drink. Is it extra? Yeah. But, I'm not going to get on my soap box as to why being extra with a hobby/job isn't bad. Either way, great video, and I look forward to trying them! BTW, the worst PSL I had was one with habanero-infused into it. My GERD killed me that day and there was very little to taste past the heat/spice . That is a drink you NEED to understand is only palatable to people who have built up that spice tolerance and don't have gut/sinus/etc issues.

[@gleftakes22]

Would it also work combining the total weight of the spices if you use premade pumpkin pie spice mix?
