Directions

1. Make the pumpkin base  Put the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a medium pot set over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is bubbling and starting to caramelize, 5-10 minutes. Set aside.

2. Make the latte Add the milk to a small saucepan set over medium-high heat. When the milk begins to boil, whisk in the Pumpkin Spice Latte mix. Shut off the heat and add the coffee plus 3 tablespoons of the pumpkin base. Whisk to combine — or use an immersion blender for a smoother, more velvety texture.

3. Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream and a light dusting of the cinnamon.
