I love specialty coffee drinks, especially this time of year. What is it about pumpkin that makes it pair so well with coffee? I really don't know.
Well, if you find a straight pumpkin latte too cloying, you might like this drink better. The pumpkin flavor is tempered with a white chocolate mocha sauce, and the resulting drink is incredibly delicious.
I make this sauce at home, and make faux lattes with it. I don't have an espresso machine, so I use strongly-brewed coffee. I do own a battery-operated milk frother. I heat the milk in the microwave, then froth with the wand, and add it to my faux latte.
If I'm making a small cup (a standard coffee cup size), I use one "shot" (one ounce) of coffee and one tablespoon of sauce, and if I'm making a large cup (a large mug, or a travel mug), I'll use two ounces of coffee and two tablespoons of sauce. I add the steamed milk to taste and top with foam.
Making myself faux lattes at home has saved me a lot of money, even with buying a milk frother. I'm not so particular about coffee that I mind using coffee instead of espresso. And making one batch of sauce lasts at least two weeks.
