Pumpkin Spice Latte

One telltale sign that fall is upon us is when Starbucks starts to roll out their famous red cups filled with their popular pumpkin spice latte. This is a fantastic drink to warm the soul on a cold Fall night, but if you don’t want to shell out a couple of bucks every day to get your fix, you can make it yourself at home.

Pumpkin Spice Latte
Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Latte:
Pumpkin puree - 2 tbsp.
Pumpkin spice - 1/2 tsp. (plus more to garnish)
Granulated sugar - 2 tbsp.
Vanilla extract - 2 tbsp.
Whole milk - 2 cups
Espresso - 1-2 shots (or 1/3 -1/2 cup strong coffee)
Heavy cream - 1/4 cup (whipped into firm peaks)
Method of preparing the Pumpkin Spice Latte:
  1. Heat the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and a generous helping of black pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it’s hot and looks cooked - about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the sugar and stir until the mixture starts to look like a bubbly, thick syrup.
  3. Whisk the milk and vanilla gently and warm, making sure that it doesn’t boil over.
  4. Carefully process the mixture with a hand blender or in a traditional blender until frothy and blended.
  5. Make the espresso or coffee and divide between two mugs. Add the frothed milk and pumpkin mixture. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
