Instructions

1. Make the Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color, taking care not to burn it.
2. Add the butter to the melted sugar and stir until fully combined. The mixture will bubble up vigorously.
3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir until smooth.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt. Let the caramel sauce cool slightly, then transfer to a jar.
5. Prepare the Coffee: Brew your coffee according to your preferred method.
6. In a blender, combine the brewed coffee, pumpkin puree, milk, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Blend until smooth.
7. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the pumpkin coffee mixture over the ice.
8. Drizzle the cooled caramel sauce over the top of the coffee.
9. Top with whipped cream, an extra drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
