- 1½ tablespoons granulated white sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- ¼ cup vanilla creamer
- Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions

- Heat Mixture: Place the mixture in the microwave and heat for 1 minute until hot, then remove carefully and pour into your serving glass or mug.

Notes
- Use fresh brewed coffee for the best flavor; espresso or strong coffee works well for a richer latte.
- Adjust sugar and creamer amounts to taste if you prefer a less sweet or creamier drink.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and creamer with almond, oat, or soy milk alternatives.
- Microwave heating time may vary depending on your microwave wattage; heat until steaming hot but not boiling.
- You can make this recipe ahead by prepping the pumpkin milk mixture in advance and heating when ready.
