Directions:

• Firstly, grind all the dry spices to make the pumpkin spice mix - you’ll have to add cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and sugar and grind it till it turns smooth.
• Then you’re going to take only ¼ teaspoon of the pumpkin spice mix and add it to your glass.
• Now, you are going to take the milk and pour it into a milk frother or shake it until it doubles in volume.
• Add the milk to your latte glass and allow it to settle.
• Pour the espresso shot on top and garnish it with a pinch of the pumpkin spice mix.

While there is a compulsion on how to make this drink, you can customize it any way that you like. You can add the classic sweet whipped cream on top or change the portion of the ingredient to your liking but don’t forget to enjoy the process.
