Winter is only a few weeks away. The days are getting very cold even though the sun is shining. The pine trees around the forest begin to emanate their scents intensely and hot drinks at this time are in great demand at any time of the day 😃.

It is one of the times of the year that I enjoy very much since coffee shops prepare delicious things that can surprise you, and coffee is no exception.

When it's really cold, I usually like to have breakfast with a latte coffee. The creaminess of the milk makes me happy. It's like a magical froth full of flavor. However, my coffee today was special because when my latte arrived at my table, it had a distinct aroma and was orange in color. What was it?

Suddenly, I turned my gaze towards the bar and realized that my friend David (who is barista) was behind this prank. Without hesitation, I took the first sip of my coffee and was amazed.

This coffee was something out of the ordinary, so I activated all my senses to find the flavors in this beverage.

It was a super creamy latte coffee. Look at the layer of cream it has! I love this! However, when I put the coffee in my mouth, my nose was going crazy with the aromas. I closed my eyes, and bingo! It had spices and pumpkin.

The secret of this drink was in this pumpkin syrup. Pumpkin is a typical autumn food.

To make this syrup, you need ripe pumpkins, sugar and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. There are some who use another spice that they call "secret", often impossible to know because it is very difficult to be revealed by those who prepare this delicious syrup 😄.

This pumpkin coffee is very easy to prepare. In a cup, you pour 1 ounce of espresso, then emulsified milk and finally, you decorate with pumpkin syrup. When you mix it all and drink it, it is very similar to the pumpkin pie flavor, only this is in liquid form.

This drink can be prepared in cold brew coffee version, and if you want to give it a particular flavor, you can add a few rum too.

This coffee is ideal to accompany a fresh pastry. Although it is not a very sweet drink, I chose some croissants with salty filling and ham bread.

I would never have imagined combining coffee with pumpkin. This experience was wonderful. I think it has awakened my curiosity to try other blends.

Would you dare to try this coffee with pumpkin?
