- Add the hot milk, caster sugar, vanilla extract and half of the pumpkin spice to a blender and mix until frothy.
- Divide the liquid between three coffee mugs, leaving enough space to add a good amount of whipped cream later.
- Add 60ml of freshly brewed, strong coffee to the mugs.
- Add that last indulgent layer of whipped cream and finish with a sprinkling of the remaining pumpkin spice mix. Enjoy!
