Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Hooray for Fall and everything pumpkin!
We all know that Starbucks makes a mean pumpkin spice latte but who wants fork over that kind cash every time you want one?!
So, a couple years ago I went looking for a recipe I could make at home. I found a recipe for them over at The Kitchn and blogged about them back in 2010.
Oh, my gosh! They are amazing!
Delicious and easy on my wallet.....score!


 Pumpkin Spice Lattes

2 c. milk
2 T. canned pumpkin
2 T. sugar
2 T. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 c. strong coffee for each mug

In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring until steaming. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and spice, transfer to a glass blender. Process for 15 seconds until foamy.
Pour into a couple of mugs. Add the coffee. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg or both.

*A little homemade whipped cream on top.......a little like heaven.

If you like pumpkin spice lattes, we will love these. Try them!

  2. If you use frozen coffee cubes and blend them with the other stuff it makes a great frappe as well. Delicious hot or cold.
