Make this easy pumpkin spiced latte right at home for a copycat recipe that's even better than the coffee shop!

Make your espresso according to the directions on the package.
½ cup espresso or very strong coffee
Prepare your sauce by combining pumpkin puree, sugar, water, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and ginger in a small sauce pan. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
1 cup pumpkin puree, ½ cup cane sugar, ½ cup water, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ¼ teaspoon vanilla, 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
For the milk you can pour ½ cup cold milk into microwavable jar, screw lid on tight and shake shake shake! In about 30 seconds your milk will be frothy and doubled in size. Remove lid and place in microwave for 30 seconds to warm the milk and set the froth. Keep an eye out for over flow while heating.
1/2 cup 1% or 2% milk
Add one tablespoon pumpkin sauce and espresso to your favorite mug. Add frothed milk and gently swirl.
Top with whipped topping and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
Whipped topping, Ground nutmeg, Ground cinnamon
Refrigerate unused pumpkin sauce in an airtight container for your next Copycat Pumpkin Spice Latte.

I like to use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor, but you can you instant coffee if you are in a pinch.
When heating the milk in the microwave, be careful to watch it to make sure it doesn't overflow. You can also heat it up on the stovetop.
