For the Coffee Base

Method
 

  1. Prepare the espresso or coffee base: Brew 1 shot of espresso (or about ¼ cup of strong coffee) and set it aside.
  1. Mix the pumpkin spice mixture: In a small saucepan, combine pumpkin puree, caramel sauce, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Warm over medium heat until the mixture starts to simmer slightly and the aroma fills your kitchen (about 2-3 minutes). Stir continuously to prevent sticking.
  1. Steam the milk: Heat ¾ cup of milk in another saucepan or microwave-safe container. If you have a frother, froth the steamed milk until creamy and slightly foamy.
  1. Combine the ingredients: Pour the warm pumpkin spice mixture into your espresso or coffee base. Stir until the flavors are fully blended. Add the steamed milk on top, pouring gently to combine everything.
  1. Garnish with toppings: Finish with a swirl of whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for a professional, café-style appearance.
  1. Enjoy: Sip slowly and savor your homemade Dutch Bros-inspired pumpkin spice drink!
