Method
Put the pumpkin purée, sugar, spices and milk in a microwave-proof jug.
Mix the contents to combine. Cover with clingfilm, then carefully pierce the surface two or three times, to allow steam to escape.
Microwave on full power for 1½-2 mins, until the milk is hot.
Using an electric milk frother or whisk, whisk for 30-45 secs or until milk is really frothy.
Pour the hot coffee into a latte glass or mug, then add the spiced pumpkin milk.
Top with cream, if using, then dust with a little more mixed spice and some cocoa.
Tip: If you have a coffee machine, use two shots of espresso to make the latte.
If not, use an instant espresso coffee or your usual cafetière.
You will need 50ml strong coffee made from about 1 tbsp ground coffee.
