Ingredients

1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 cups strongly brewed coffee or espresso

Instructions

Combine the milk, sugar, and puree in a small sauce pan. Heat to just a boil making sure to whisk consistently.
Remove from the heat and pour into a blender. Add vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. Pulse for 30-40 seconds or until the mixture has started to froth.
Pour your coffee into a cup until it's about half full. Fill the remaining portion with your pumpkin mixture!
Top with whipped cream and cinnamon if desired.

Notes

The first thing you will need to do is pick your coffee. Be sure to use a quality brew, I really love Laughing Man Coffee, and it helps to grind your own beans.
I decided to stick with a strong brewed dark coffee but an espresso would be just as good.
Another great tip is to add or subtract the amount of sugar used. I like my coffee on the sweeter side so the 2 tablespoons called for worked perfectly.
If you want to get super fancy you can top your cup with some whipped cream and a little cinnamon for that coffee house feel.
