-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INGREDIENTS & TECHNIQUE:
PUMPKIN SPICE MIX (25g total)
Vietnamese Cassia Bark: 7.5g (30%)
Sri Lankan Cinnamon Quills: 7.5g (30%)
Chinese Powdered Ginger: 4.5g (18%)
Sri Lankan Cloves: 0.75g (3%)
Allspice: 1.25g (5%)
Grenadan Nutmeg: 3.5g (14%)
Weight out each, then combine and grind in spice grinder or blade coffee grinder.
Reserve.
You can use the percentages to calculate larger or small batch sizes depending on your needs.
PUMPKIN SPICE SYRUP
Approx 500g pumpkin, peeled and cubed
250-300g water
500g demerara sugar
22g Pumpkin Spice Mix
Juice the pumpkin flesh and weigh the resulting juice. (It should be a little under 250g of juice)
Top up with water until the liquid total is 500g.
Add to pan with sugar and spice mix
Bring to a slow simmer. Reduce until it is close to a 2:1 syrup (i.e. you’ve removed approximately 250g of water)
Strain first through a sieve, then through a finer mesh if you prefer.
Store in a squeeze bottle in the fridge.
COFFEE WHIPPED CREAM
280ml Double cream
10g medium grind coffee
Half of a vanilla bean pod, with the seeds scraped out
14g sugar
Mix all ingredients over low heat until the sugar is dissolved, and the coffee has given up some colour.
Strain.
Load into whipping syphon (a smaller one is preferable if doing smaller batches), and charge with nitrous.
DRINK BUILD:
Pull a double espresso into your preferred size cup.
Add spiced syrup to taste. (15g per 240ml cup is a good starting point)
Steam milk, adding only a little foam. Pour and leave at least 1cm headroom below the rim of the cup.
Add your coffee whipped cream, and dust with a little reserved pumpkin spice mix.

Hi James, ex Starbucks employee here, worked in Wimbledon for 3 years and if I remember correctly since fall of either 2017 or 2018 the new vegan recipe for the PSL came to fruition, with actual pumpkin in the ingredients but no condensed milk. The drink was at first, like you said, just about the spices(and actually the best seller ever for Starbucks) and then Starbucks claimed customers seemed to ask for it to have actual pumpkin or pumpkin flavouring in it. My memory might not be perfect(I left a year ago) but I hope this helps clear out some fog about the drink. Also the spices were correct, mainly cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg on the top.
@nemomenth 3 жыл бұрын
The change over came when people found out that there wasn't pumpkin in the PSL and the media had one of their Starbucks story freak-outs so Starbucks retooled it.
@SmallSpoonBrigade 3 жыл бұрын
@@nemomenth why would there be pumpkin in it? It's a pumpkin spice latte as in the spices that are complement pumpkin. Arguably, it would have been better to just hyphenate it.
@brigidb5865 3 жыл бұрын
@@SmallSpoonBrigade because people thought "pumpkin spice latte" means "pumpkin and spices flavored latte" Also somewhat unrelated but in the USA at least, the pumpkin sauce contained both milk and pumpkin puree as early as 2014 (when I started working at Starbucks myself) and had been told it was the first year real pumpkin was included when the sauce started shipping. That said, the pumpkin syrup he has in this video looks completely different from the sauce that we used in the US so I am wondering if there is some regional difference. The psl sauce in the US was very thick, creamy looking, a softer lighter orange color, and also there was about an ounce of it in the grande size (much more than he shows in the video) - what he has looks much more like a thin sugar syrup that most of the other drinks are flavored with (eg caramel macchiato, caramel apple spice, etc)
@KewBlinkla 3 жыл бұрын
Fun tip! I make pumpkin spice “cubes” every year when falls comes, I have my own recipe I use for the actual pumpkin spice portion, but I like it with the purée (sort of like the initial recipe). Then I pour into an ice cube tray and freeze them. When you want a latte, I put the cube into a bit of warmed milk, stir until its defrosted, then make my latte as normal, just going a bit hotter on the rest of the milk. Takes all of 5-6 minutes!

Recommendation - you can use annatto seed powder to get the orange hue in the coffee whilst adding subtle, a peppery-nutmeg flavour. We often use annatto seed to colour filipino desserts or curries orange, and I always use it in my spice mix when I make pumpkin spice lattes from home. Cheers!

I drink a lot of stuff from places like Starbucks as a college student, but have never really liked coffee, because no one has ever presented it to me as something pleasant, rather just a necessary caffeine hit. After finding James' channel, now when I buy coffee, I've been ordering things with less and less sugar and flavorings, and I find myself actually enjoying it. I'm even considering getting my own "proper" home setup with a hand grinder, french press, moka pot, etc, whatever else interests me from his videos. James has managed to somewhat alleviate the images of my father's scalding black morning Folgers made with yesterday's spent grounds, and for that I thank you.

I think you should visit Milwaukee once travel is more acceptable. In addition to, apparently the place to get specialty spices, we have one of the largest distributers of specialty tea.

Well, I did it. I went out and bought the spices, the Jarrahdale pumpkin, the cheese cloth, etc. I bought it all and I did the damn thing... And it truly is delicious. There's almost a savory element to the syrup, and it counterbalances the sweetness of the sugar and richness of the spices that would otherwise be overwhelming. This weekend will be the full test - Red Brick espresso, the whipped cream, and 15g of syrup in -an 8oz- a 240ml cup. I'll report back with the final test. 10/19 update: I built the full latte today, and it was definitely worth the journey. Lightly sweet but balanced, with a slightly savory taste from the pumpkin. You can taste the individual spices (even more when you dust the top), and the coffee flavor from the whipped cream is unexpectedly the star - it helps translate the espresso flavor through everything else and makes sure it isn't lost. Overall, if you're trying to consider whether or not you attempt this recipe - go for it!

A few friends and I attempted a similar challenge last year!! We tried a few techniques like juicing a variety of different pumpkins, making pumpkin concentrate, etc. What worked best, somewhat obviously in hindsight, was using freeze dried pumpkin powder with milk/cream of choice for the latte foam (and then ofc various mixes of ground whole spices)
@dennisli92 3 жыл бұрын
using pumpkin juice ended up adding a lot of water and a lot of undesirable flavors. perhaps could've used milk powder with the pumpkin juice as we did not think of that

This video has highlighted the one thing that’s really made me feel at home in my foray into the world of coffee. Sourcing the right stuff. I’m a noob in the world of coffee and it can seem intimidating at first, but the actual product.... as a lifelong foodie, yeah I get the sourcing of the good stuff. It’s the little things that help when you’re a beginner, that make you feel you’re not a complete outsider 😀

An interesting thing about ginger is unlike most spices and coffee you can grow it almost anywhere, even where I live in Canada. You can grow it in a pot on your porch. In fact, most of the ginger root we have where I live in BC is locally grown. You can also get local ginger powder in a more local-focused grocery store. I don’t know what that would mean for the flavour profile, but it’s important if you’re worried about traceability and buying fair trade.

I had a similar moment regarding spices some time after developing my appreciation of coffee. We are often taught to think of things as fungible commodities and think almost exclusively of price. I think for many the next step is to consider freshness. Finally a realization that coffee/cinnamon/etc are not some element or molecule with consistent and agreed upon structure. That where and how it is grown and processed impact flavour. Its just interesting that that realization came years before spices for me. Perhaps because I seldom taste them in isolation like coffee. Usually multiple spices mixed with multiple other ingredients.

@Lauren Damaso Ruiz I'm American but have lived in Australia and have numerous British and Aussie friends. I know a lot call these something else but if someone said "pumpkin" to you, what would you think of? I believe most in the UK would think of these even if there's another term. While "pumpkin spice", if it has pumpkin, is referring to the American usage which is an entirely different type of gourd

I've never been a starbucks PSL person but I love making my own at home. I roast my pumpkin and make a puree (I use the puree for cookies) the excess pumpkin juice that comes out is the base for my syrup. I tend to chuck in whole spice and and let it infuse (like an Indian chai) and use maple syrup for sweetness. You don't wind up with a lot of syrup but it's enough to comfortably get me through the season. I love the idea of adding esspresso cream on top, will definitely try that this PSL season

Love this video! I've been making my own version at home using a teaspoon of store bought "pumpkin pie spice extract" which is a tincture of the usual spices suspended in alcohol. It says "keep away from open flame" on the box. I wonder if that means I could potentially make a "flaming pumpkin spice latte"!

Great video as always. One (perhaps dumb) question: did you try juicing a baked/cooked pumpkin? I would imagine that to change the flavor of the juice significantly, and likely bring out a lot more of the sugars from it.

And, using a pie pumpkin, bred to have finer texture and more sugar, unlike the Jardale pumpkins.

RE: Pumpkin in the latte The recipes change, so no clue about this years specifically, but in 2014-2015 when I worked at Starbucks I believe there was pumpkin puree (or something to that effect) in the Pumpkin spice flavoring. The explanation I got regarding that was along the lines of, people heard there wasn't pumpkin in there Pumpkin spice lattes and made enough of a fuss that it got added.
@TheKeefe95 3 жыл бұрын
Would love to see what salt did to this concoction. Interesting when you start to play with the more vegetable-y flavours of the pumpkin. Also, curious about the world of Maté as it seems to be that kind of weird bridge between spicy/herby worlds that the PSL kind of lends itself to as well.
