Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, sugar or maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until hot and steaming, but do not boil.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. If desired, froth the mixture using a whisk, milk frother, or blender until lightly foamy.
  4. Pour the espresso or strong coffee into a mug.
  5. Add the pumpkin milk mixture to the mug and stir gently to combine.
  6. Top with whipped cream, if using, and sprinkle with a little extra pumpkin pie spice before serving.

Notes

For a sweeter latte, add more sugar or maple syrup to taste. Use dairy or non-dairy milk, and adjust the coffee strength to your preference.
