Yep, this is what you think it is. You know, that drink that everyone keeps talking about. Its warm, its pumpkin-y and oh so good. Well wait no more, here is an easy recipe to make them in the comfort of your own home.
I found this recipe last year at The Kitchn.
I didn’t add any sugar to mine since I used a vanilla soy milk, I thought it was sweet enough. Also, don’t buy pumpkin pie filling it is all ready spiced and ends up way too spicy.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
makes 1-2 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin OR 1 teaspoon of Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup (your choice)
- 2 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute – you can halve this amount
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1-2 shots espresso (about 1/4 cup of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine.)
Directions:
In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin and sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring, until steaming. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and spice, transfer to a blender and process for 15 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry about it – just whisk the mixture really well with a wire whisk.
Pour into a large mug or two mugs. Add the espresso on top.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top. (Just do it!)
