In addition to coffee, you'll need milk, whipped cream, and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice (a mixture that usually contains allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves). You will also need homemade pumpkin syrup with spices, which you can make yourself. Let's start with making the syrup.

Ingredients:

1.5 cups of caster sugar

1.5 cups of water

6 cinnamon sticks

1 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp. ground ginger

2 tsp ground nutmeg

4 tbsp pumpkin puree

Preparation

- Mix sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil;

- Once the sugar is dissolved, add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and pumpkin puree. After that, cook for another 20 minutes on low heat.

Actually, pumpkin puree can be obtained by baking it, pre-cleaning and cutting it into cubes. Bake for about 20-25 minutes in the oven preheated to 180 degrees. After baking, the pumpkin should simply be killed with a blender.
