- In a small saucepan or milk frother, combine milk, spice mix, and caramel, heat until steaming. If using a saucepan, whisk milk mixture constantly until small bubbles form. In the meantime brew coffee. Divide pumpkin puree evenly between two mugs and pour over one espresso shot each. Then stir together until pumpkin puree dissolves. Next top off each coffee mug with frothed milk and garnish with whipped cream, additional caramel and a pinch of salt.

- Salted Caramel Sauce
- In a small saucepan set to medium high heat, whisk together corn syrup, salt and water and bring to a boil. Insert a candy thermometer and cook the syrup mixture without stirring until it reaches 330 degrees. Next, remove the pan from the heat and immediately whisk in butter, creme fraiche and heavy cream until butter is melted and a smooth cohesive mixture has formed*. Transfer cooling caramel to a heat proof airtight container and allow to cool fully to room temperature prior to storing in the refrigerator. The caramel can be stored for up to one month in the refrigerator.
