One of the most iconic drinks of the autumn months is the hugely popular Pumpkin Spice Latte.
The secret to its special taste is: spicy syrup!
In addition to the usual ingredients, it contains:
pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves!
To intensify the flavours, you can ask for whipped cream and additional real pumpkin pie spices for your drink!
Autumn coffee is available in many coffee shops in Pécs. However, for gastronomy lovers who prefer to prepare their own food and drinks at home, you can also find plenty of recipes for making pumpkin-spice lattes on the internet:
Pumpkin Spice Latte simply:
Ingredients
- 100 g pumpkin
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- half a teaspoon of cloves and allspice
- 1 teaspoon ginger, nutmeg and vanilla flavouring
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 3 dl milk
- 3 tablespoons of whipped cream
- 100 ml black coffee
Preparation
Firstly, add the ground spices to the natural pumpkin puree (available in the children’s section of grocery stores) and mix well.
Second, brew a pot of fresh coffee and whisk in the milk.
Thirdly, place 3 teaspoons of the spiced puree in the bottom of a 3-4dl mug and sprinkle with sugar. Pour the coffee and milk on top and stir well (you can have the drink without coffee, but the bitter taste of the puree makes the sugar very necessary)
The fourth and final step is to top the drink with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.
The drink is seasonally available in the autumn, but mostly from October to November.
