Every autumn anew – the Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL for short) celebrates its season and has enjoyed steadily growing popularity in recent years!
What is a Pumpkin Spice Latte?
The Pumpkin Spice Latte is a coffee drink with a mix of traditional autumn or pumpkin pie spices, foamed milk, espresso, often sugar, decorated with whipped cream if you like.
A drink that fits perfectly into the autumn season, tastes wonderfully of pumpkin and winter spices and is interpreted in many different ways in the preparation.
Here we show you our favorite recipe for preparing Pumpkin Spice Latte as a kind of syrup in Latte Macchiato.
Here we go…
How is a Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe made?
Our recipe is actually quite simple: we prepare a syrup with the spices, extract an espresso and then pour on the foamed milk.
The History of the Pumpkin Spice Latte
The history of the Pumpkin Spice Latte starts with the coffee giant Starbucks. These began in January 2003 with serving the Pumpkin Spice Latte. The company experimented with different pumpkin-to-spice combinations and ratios, eventually settling on a recipe without the pumpkin. In recent years, the drink has become increasingly popular in the cold autumn and winter months.
With high-quality ingredients, a delicious pumpkin and some sugar, the classic PSL can be reinterpreted and easily prepared at home!

- 500g pumpkin, peeled and diced
- 250g of water

Preparation Pumpkin Spice Latte
So – now the syrup is prepared and ready for preparation!

- Now extract a double espresso into a cappuccino cup or latte macchiato glass

Which coffee beans do you use for a Pumpkin Spice Latte?
Everyone has different tastes, but we like to prepare our Pumpkin Spice Latte with a little more milk. So in a latte macchiato glass and with a beverage size of about 2.5dl.
So we not only have a lot of milk, but also a lot of flavor from the spiced syrup – so we need coffees with a little power so that we can add an ingenious coffee taste to the drink!
For this reason we like to use slightly darker roasted coffees in our PSL’s.
